1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast George Dory with you, 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: Doctor Judith Orloff with us. The book is called The 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 2: Genius of Empathy. Tell me about the title, Judas ah. 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 3: Well, I wanted to incorporate empathy with genius because it 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 3: is a genius form of healing and way to be 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 3: with each other. And I wanted to communicate like what 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 3: kind of genius that everyone could tap into with regard 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 3: to it being a healing energy, and how I could 10 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 3: just transform relationships with yourself included no self empathy. The 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 3: genius of self empathy is just incredible, I know, being 12 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 3: a psychiatrist. No, many people beat themselves up all the time, 13 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 3: you know, rather than showing this beautiful, positive, loving energy 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 3: of self empathy, you know, of saying and this is 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 3: a difficult situation, you got through it all right, instead 16 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 3: of saying negative things and putting yourself down, and that 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 3: increases your healing energy. And there's a certain genius to 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 3: that to be able to shift your thought patterns to 19 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: treat yourself with that kind of empathy. With self empathy, 20 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 3: it changes everything. It opens up the heart. It changes 21 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: how people relate to you. It increases your energy. When 22 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 3: you beat yourself up all the time or there's a 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: lot of negative thinking, it depletes your energy, and empathy 24 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,919 Speaker 3: can help raise your energy, just through the sheer kindness 25 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 3: of it. 26 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: Years ago, when I was first hearing about empathy, I 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: didn't know if it was a good thinking or a 28 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: bad thing. Do people get it confused? 29 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? Sometimes people think empathy is a weakness because they 30 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: feel like if they have empathy, they're going to experience 31 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: empathy overload and compassion burnout, which is true until you 32 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: can learn learn techniques such as taking care of yourself 33 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: and self empathy and a lot of empaths get addicted 34 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 3: to the news and it drains them. For an EmPATH 35 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: or sensitive people to keep watching the news, it's too stressful, 36 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 3: and so part of learning how to express empathy is 37 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: sending limits and boundaries and only watching a little bit 38 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: of the news. And when you want to help the world, 39 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 3: you want to do something with you getting miserable, that's 40 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 3: not going to help. That's just another miserable person. But 41 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: if you spend just a short time sending people or 42 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 3: region in the world beautiful empathic heart energy in the 43 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: quietness of your own home. It can travel very far. 44 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: Energy can travel, and it can help people that you 45 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: don't even know. So I'm a big believer in sending 46 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: this sympathic energy to create a distant kind of. 47 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 2: Healing as well, know, doctor Orloff. Can you be an 48 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 2: EmPATH and be successful in business? 49 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 3: Oh, definitely, you could be an EmPATH, You could be 50 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 3: an intuitive. You can use those skills in business as 51 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 3: long as you take care of your energy. Unfortunately, a 52 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: lot of narcissists and sociopaths have been drawn to power positions, 53 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 3: and they're just all over the news in the last 54 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: few years and all over the place. So it's a 55 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 3: collective lesson on the detrimental effects that narcissists can have 56 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: on the world. But being an EmPATH in a powerful 57 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: position is a wonderful thing. And having people who model 58 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: empathy rather than narcissism. People are getting so sick of 59 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: these narcissistic bosses who do not stand them and don't 60 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: have any empathy that there's a change that I've seen. 61 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: There's a chapter in the book on Empathic Leadership on 62 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: how leaders can be empaths. But also strong powerful people. 63 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 3: Empaths aren't weak people. They just need to strengthen themselves 64 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: by taking care of themselves a little bit better and 65 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: setting the limits and boundaries and grounding and saying no 66 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: to certain behaviors rather than just listening to someone. If 67 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 3: they berate you or you're around energy vampires, you don't 68 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: want to keep being around this. You want to set 69 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: a limit with that and be attracted to more empathic people. 70 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: And empaths don't hide who they are, unlike narcissists, who 71 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: kind of trick you. 72 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: It's true. Narcissists create a false front. They can seem 73 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 3: so intelligent and charming and they love bombing you and 74 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 3: you know they gaz There are all kinds of things 75 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: they do, but in the beginning they can seem very 76 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 3: very charming, whereas an EmPATH and you can't see their 77 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: real selves, but an EmPATH can really show themselves because 78 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: they're vulnerable to begin with. They're open, and they're loving, 79 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 3: and they're good people to begin with, maybe too much 80 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: so sometimes, so that's why they have to learn how 81 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 3: to bring it in, bring their energy in a little 82 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: bit more, and also to spot narcissists. There's a chapter 83 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 3: in the book on Narcissists, sociopaths, and Psychopaths and how 84 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: that is called an empathy deficient disorder, meaning those people 85 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: don't have empathy as we know it. They're not neurologically 86 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 3: wired to have empathy, and empaths think everyone have empathy 87 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: and they don't. These empathy deficient people don't have empathy. 88 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: They're just wired differently. So it's important for sensetive empathic 89 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 3: people to know that so they can avoid these relationships 90 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 3: as possible, or lower their expectations if they must be 91 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 3: in those relationships, and learn many methods of how to 92 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 3: deal with them, including the gray rock method, where you 93 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 3: actually visualize yourself as a gray rock, meaning not emotional. 94 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 3: You don't feed the supply of the narcissists. You're very 95 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 3: rock like and non emotional and non reactive, and then 96 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 3: the narcissist doesn't get their supply then, and so you 97 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: want that because then they'll go to somebody else. 98 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: What are the four types of empathy? 99 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 3: Ah, they're different kinds of empathy that you might identify with, 100 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 3: and I go through each type in the book, and 101 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 3: one is cognitive empathy, where people show empathy simply through 102 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 3: their minds. The really intellectual people you know a lot 103 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: of them prefer that. Then there's the emotion empathy, where 104 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: you actually feel what's going on in other people. You 105 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: can feel their sadness, you can feel their joy, you 106 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: can resonate with them, attuned to them in a very 107 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 3: deep way. And then there's an intuitive impath. People who 108 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 3: are extremely intuitive and can read others. You can be 109 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: around them and you can read their energy. You can 110 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 3: get flashes, you can get knowings, you can feel various 111 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: energy changes in your body if you're an intuitive EmPATH, 112 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: and so you can be one or many types. Then 113 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: the last type is the spiritual impath, where spiritual empaths 114 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 3: see you through the most positive lens and they can 115 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: see your spiritual connection, the growth of your heart, how 116 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: giving you are as a person, and they see that. 117 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: The downside of being a spiritual impath is that they 118 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: may not see the dark side of others as well. 119 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 3: They just see the best in people. So they're four types. 120 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: What great message would you like your readers to bring 121 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: away with themselves when they read the book The Genius 122 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: of Empathy. 123 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 3: I would like them to come away with the knowledge 124 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: that they could be empathic with themselves, they could be 125 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 3: more empathic with their loved ones rather than fighting or 126 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: polarizing or needing to be right all the time, that 127 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 3: they can have empathy for people even if you have 128 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: different beliefs than they do, that you don't all have 129 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 3: to have the same beliefs, and that you can show 130 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 3: empathy in the world and model a new way to 131 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: be so that we as human beings can change this 132 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 3: horrific state that we're in now and begin to model 133 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 3: and embody empathy in a different way. And this will 134 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: only give you more energy and let you enjoy life more. 135 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: If you're not an EmPATH, if you're not a narcissist, 136 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 2: then what are you. 137 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: You're probably midway in the empathic spectrum where you have 138 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 3: regular empathy, which is beautiful and wonderful. You don't have 139 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 3: to be an EmPATH to be an empathic person. You 140 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 3: could just be a very caring person who cares about 141 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: the world, who's kind, who wants to do good, and 142 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 3: wants to develop their empathy. But they aren't necessarily empaths. 143 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 3: As empaths tend to absorb the energy of others. The 144 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 3: people who have just had a natural empathy, they don't 145 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: necessarily absorb, so you can be anywhere on this empathy 146 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 3: spectrum and develop it. And that's the message of the book, 147 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 3: that you can use practical tools to develop empathy so 148 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 3: that you don't get drained by having it, and you 149 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: can develop compassion for yourself and for us. It's just 150 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 3: a better way to live than torturing yourself or getting 151 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: too much in your mind where you're overthinking all the time, 152 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 3: because the mind could come up with all kinds of 153 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 3: reasons not to show empathy. And so you want to 154 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 3: come down to your heart to ask yourself if you 155 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: want to show empathy, because the heart will understand the 156 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 3: language of empathy more and so just so people know 157 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 3: that and can treat themselves better, just from this moment, Dawn, 158 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 3: from this conversation on to think about yourself in a 159 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 3: more loving way. 160 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 2: What are empaths like in a relationship? 161 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 3: Well, that's often one of their greatest challenges. It certainly 162 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 3: was for me because as an EmPATH, I like to 163 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: be alone a lot, and I've written a lot of 164 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: books and so I'd love to be alone and write. 165 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 3: And in a relationship, your partner need is understand that 166 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 3: you know, if you need to be alone if you 167 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 3: need quiet time, that needs to be understood. And so 168 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 3: empaths are sometimes afraid of expressing their needs in relationships 169 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: because they want to people please, They want people to 170 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 3: be happy all the time, and the EmPATH needs to 171 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 3: learn to assert his or her needs and then it's 172 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 3: relationships are easier because I know for years I would 173 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 3: be in short term relationships or a couple of years 174 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 3: or long distance relationships because as an EmPATH that felt 175 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 3: a little bit more familiar or comfortable, so I can 176 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 3: have my own time. But I learned that in a relationship, 177 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 3: when I can assert my own needs and have conversations 178 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 3: about this and be with somebody who is sympathetic and 179 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 3: understanding rather than oh you're too sensitive, don't express your 180 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:03,119 Speaker 3: sensitivities to me, then a really deep connection is possible. 181 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 3: But empaths need to learn to identify your needs first 182 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 3: of all and begin to open your mouth to express them. 183 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 3: And even if your partner doesn't understand and being an 184 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: EmPATH exactly, they can at least respect it. And that's 185 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 3: what you can look for in a relationship. 186 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: Judea, do you talk about a technique to soothe the 187 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 2: nervous system? Why is that and what is that? 188 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: Well, that is empathy. Empathy can soothe the nervous system 189 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 3: by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system and the vagus nerve, 190 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 3: which is the main nerve in the parasympathetic or calming system, 191 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 3: and it could calm you down versus sphear which gets 192 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: the nora adrenaline going and the cortisol, which is terrible 193 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 3: for you in terms of your immunity and your happiness 194 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: and your blood pressure. 195 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: It all goes. 196 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 3: Blood pressure goes up, the heart rate goes up, and 197 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 3: empathy can sue that. And what's so interesting is something 198 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 3: called the Mother Teresa effect, where if you watch somebody 199 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: do an empathic act and you're just a witness to it, 200 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 3: if I were to draw your blood right, then your 201 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 3: immunity would go up, your blood indices would improve, and 202 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 3: your biochemistry would generally get more positive and you could 203 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 3: see those changes in the blood itself if you analyze it. 204 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 3: And that's just by virtue of watching somebody be very 205 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 3: kind to somebody else. But imagine if you could be 206 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 3: kind to yourself or others and have empathy and create 207 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: all of that positive biological change in yourself it's just 208 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 3: an amazing feeling, and it's very good for your health. 209 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 3: It's good for your happiness, good for your mood. If 210 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 3: you're in a bad state. One of the greatest things 211 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 3: you can do is go out and try and help 212 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 3: somebody else, even when you don't feel like it, because 213 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 3: it will make you feel better, right, And that's It's 214 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: just something really important to learn about your own life. 215 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: But I think the biochemistry backs it all up, where 216 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 3: there's so many positive changes from empathy that you deserve 217 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 3: to kind of harness your neurobiology with empathy and create 218 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 3: a more positive environment for your own health. 219 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 2: Judah's what happens when an EmPATH meets up with a narcissist. 220 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: What happens? Who wins? 221 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 3: Who wins? Usually the narcissist wins, unfortunately. And I always 222 00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: try and warn my EmPATH patients away from getting involved 223 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 3: with narcissists, but you know a lot of them still do, 224 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 3: and you know I help them through that process. But 225 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: the narcissist knows how to reel you in. They know 226 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 3: how to say things that make you happy and make 227 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 3: you feel wanted and appreciated. And this is just in 228 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 3: the beginning. And they love bomb use, so they know 229 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,479 Speaker 3: how to give off all this love and the EmPATH 230 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 3: is so open to this, and the EmPATH just wants 231 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 3: to give and receive love. I mean, that's something that 232 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: makes them very happy. And so it isn't until you 233 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: don't do something according to the narcissists plans that they 234 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 3: begin to show their true colors. That's why I suggest 235 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 3: that everyone who is suspecting their partner might be in 236 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 3: a relation might be a narcissist, to do something that 237 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 3: conflicts with them. To do something such as I'm not 238 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 3: available tonight, to go out with you and see how 239 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: they respond, because narcissists do not like it when you 240 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 3: don't do things according to their plans. 241 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: Well, they get. 242 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 3: Mean and their narcissistic nature comes out. So I recommend 243 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 3: doing that just to bring it out. If you have 244 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 3: any doubts, just try this. It will work. Just do 245 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 3: something not according to their plan and test out the relationship. 246 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: We had I guess a couple of weeks ago, we 247 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 2: talked about narcissism and she was married to one and 248 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: it was obviously ended at a brutal ending. 249 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, it is brutal, and trying to get out 250 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 3: of those relationships, particularly if you're empathic and sensitive. After 251 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 3: years of being beaten down by you know all the 252 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 3: things that narcissists do, you people have to crawl out 253 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 3: of these relationships and build a new life and cut 254 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 3: off the relationship cold turkey if possible, and never look back. 255 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: And if you need to have any kind of interaction 256 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 3: with these people, to do it by text or make 257 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 3: it very short that don't let yourself get emotionally triggered 258 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 3: by them, because they get fed by your emotions. 259 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight at 260 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: oneam Eastern and go to Coast to coastam dot com 261 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: for more
