Catching the Emotions of those around you

In this podcast Mandy, Aly, and Beth talk about what happens when we inadvertently catch the emotions of everyone around us.  Twenty percent of the population is known to be highly empathetic and highly sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of the people around them, often absorbing the stresses of the environment around them.

They talk about their experiences of being highly empathetic in the workplace and the techniques each of them use to embrace their sensitivity in the workplace yet minimize its impact on our their own body, and Beth shares her a-ha moments from reading the book, The Empath’s Survival Guide by Dr. Judith Orloff.
