Thursday, May 2, 6-7:30PM, $30 (Admission includes Free Copy of The Genius of Empathy)

Join Judith Orloff, MD, author of the new book The Genius of Empathy: Practical Skills to Heal Your Sensitive Self, Your Relationships and the World as she takes you beyond the typical definition of empathy to teach you how to empathize without over-giving or burning out. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, psychology, and energy medicine, Dr. Orloff will show you how to access your sensitivities, soothe your nervous system, and stop absorbing the emotions of others. You’ll also learn the art of empathic listening, how to stop overthinking, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries and loving detachment to prevent overwhelm.

Empathy is a form of emotional intelligence that you can learn and develop. It’s a healing act, whether you’re on the giving or receiving end. Empathy allows you to be more caring with yourself and others. It is a healing energy that is medicine for your mind, body, and soul.

Judith Orloff, MD is a psychiatrist, an empath, and author of The Genius of Empathy (foreword by the Dalai Lama). Dr. Orloff is a NY Times bestselling author and a UCLA clinical faculty member. She synthesizes the pearls of conventional medicine with cutting edge knowledge of intuition, energy, and spirituality. www.drjudithorloff.com
