The Empathic INFJ: Awareness and Understanding for the Intuitive Clairsentient

Being an Empathetic INFJ, I found Soldnier's observations about what it means to be both empathetic and an INFJ spot-on, but I did not agree with the advise she gives. She approaches this subject as if it is an unfortunate quirk one must learn to live with. Its not! Or at least it doesn't have to be. It has the potential to be a powerful gift that can change the world. While I do believe there are unique challenges to this unusual gift, I believe their are incredible blessings to being an "Empath". I have experienced incredible freedom by praying for those I "sense" and I continually extend healing and blessing to those I emotionally "encounter". This is the opposite of what Soldnier suggests. She advises for the empath to reject the emotions of others that they pick up on. I think if that is how one chooses to approach this gifting, they are missing out on a great opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those they come in contact with. It is a statement of faith, but I believe I bring healing to hearts every time I leave my house - even if I don't talk to a single person the whole day - and I believe that is available to every aware and surrendered empath.

When I received this soft cover book I was disappointed that it was thin, written in a large font and double spaced. In essence I felt like someone had taken a booklet and decided to market it as a book. There were some interesting concepts in it but it was not worth the price charged and was poorly edited including spelling mistakes.

This book provides an excellent information framework, insight, and mental exercises that can help an INFJ Empath to understand themselves and learn the basics of how to identify the energies that we absorb that move us to an unbalanced state and introduces ways of how to get back to a balanced state again.Introduction to new awareness levels, understanding yourself, and having tools in your toolbox are necessary for all INFJ Empaths. This book is a good place to start to learn about yourself, the empathic INFJ.

It was a little better than other of this authors books but most of the information is easily available on the internet. It really gave me no new insights just a rehash of the same ol', same ol'

This book is a good place to start when you find out you're an INFJ, the rarest of the 16 Myers-Briggs types, as well as an empath. More and more information is now available about empaths, so we no longer have to feel alone.

I love this book. It not only gave me peace with who I am, but it gave me great tools to improve and enhance my life. I am not broken. I am enough. Just a couple of things I learned that I didn’t previously deem to be true.

It's an amazing journey of self discovery paired with easy to understand techniques to survive as a empathic infj in the world. Not only is it once again comforting to be validated but the techniques given are easily understood by metaphors and visual descriptions from the author. Yes I am a empath. Yes I'm a INFJ. But I no longer pity myself and don't have the question what now?? I recommend this book to any empath or loved one of a empath!!!!

I am INTP but bought this for my INFJ friend. He says he found it very interesting and helpful and gave him deeper insight into himself.

Not much useful as nothing about this rarest personality type has been described in the book. It only talks about being an empath in general and what one should do to prevent oneself from getting drained by others negative energy. The qualities and extraordinary abilities of INFJs have not been mentioned in the book. More info is available online on various websites than in this book!!!

Lots of letters that form words, then sentences.Those sentences create several paragraphs and when there were enough paragraphs they became a full page.Those pages were good, and the many pages became a book.Book good.

I really enjoyed this book and the depth the writer went into about empath's and INFJS.

3 stars

great book for understanding what being an INFJ means!
