Editorial Review:

Product Description:
“The Sensitive Person's Survival Guide is an outstanding contribution to body-mind healing and has our highest recommendation. Dr. Mesich explains the relationship between emotional sensitivity and psychic awareness in clear, accessible language, showing that such abilities should not be discredited but rather developed as genuine gifts.”—Patricia Kaminski, Executive Director, The Flower Essence Society



The Sensitive Person's Survival Guide presents a radically new way of looking at emotional sensitivity, chronic depression and anxiety. Through her own experiences and courageous research, Dr. Kyra Mesich, a traditionally-trained psychologist, found that psychic sensitivity is the underlying key to understanding emotional sensitivity.



Dr. Mesich focuses on empathic ability (also known as psychic feeling), which is the ability to literally feel other people’s emotional experiences. This misunderstood ability often results in recurrent depression, anxiety and the painful aspects of emotional sensitivity due in part to society’s denial and repression of the existence of psychic phenomena.



With simple, down-to-earth language and examples, The Sensitive Person’s Survival Guide demystifies empathic ability and explains the relationship between emotional sensitivity and psychic sensitivity.



Readers learn specific alternative health remedies and practices to immediately implement in their own lives to rebalance their sensitivity and reconnect with their empathic ability. Armed with this knowledge, readers will experience relief from mysterious lifelong emotional suffering and turn their sensitivity into strength and joy!



“People suffer in countless ways from their sensitivity, depression being the most common, and most are never properly diagnosed, only medicated. The Sensitive Person’s Survival Guide gave me a ray of hope that the day is coming when the maladies of empathic people will be taken seriously and treated in a more realistic way.”—Echo Bodine, author of Echoes of the Soul




Rating: - Feels right to me!
Dr. Mesich's book is concise, articulate and to the point. Through her own experience as a psychologist, she began "taking on" as her own the emotions of some of her clients; she didn't recognize her empathetic nature, nor fully understand its implications. She was in the perfect training ground with her practice. Those of us who have struggled with an empathic nature, gain from Dr. Mesich's growth and understanding of what empathy is all about. Best of all we don't have to slog through a tome ... Read More

Rating: - Right Track, Wrong Train of Thought
I'm happy this book was of some help to others; however, it was not of much use to me. The author starts off with personal experiences of pain and illness that were very familiar to me. I thought I had found someone who understood, and even better, a treatment method that might actually work. Don't get me wrong, her theory that certain illnesses might be linked to empathy makes a great deal of sense to me. It's her recommended treatment, the use of flower essences, that seemed to fall short (again, ... Read More

Rating: - Managing Empathy for Mental and Emotional Health
When the world bogs you down too easily you are an empath. You take on other people's emotions and your internal anchor is easily thrown by strong feelings around you. If you have difficulty distinguishing between your emotions and that of others you need to shield yourself. This is what is meant by energetic boundaries. Don't be prey to others emotions and manage your own. These are great techniques and an arsenol against too much of other people's stuff.

Rating: - An eye-opening book!
Although I knew basically what the book would discuss, I was still surprised when I read it. It has a lot of really interesting ideas and very helpful tips and suggestions. This book is worth getting and keeping. I have already seen success in my daily life using the wisdom I gained from the book. It also is easy to read, has a personal tone, and plenty of good stories from the author's own life to illustrate points.

Rating: - Long on introduction, short on strategies
I enjoyed this book and very much "empathized" with the subject matter, but was so surprized when the book just ended and I had not really learned much about further strategies in dealing with empathetic ability. I was amazed that flower essences were the first strategy given by this professional, but still trying to keep an open mind. I was quite annoyed the book just ended and now I will need to search more for more advanced handling of this topic. I would suggest that anyone who reads the book, identifies ... Read More
