As our culture has become more and more distracted by the overstimulation of our senses, many of us have had to develop a layer of thicker skin.
Scenes too risqué for the screen 30 years ago are now the norm. While seemingly accepted by the masses, many still cringe as they watch where the culture is headed.
From the overt 24-hour newscasts telling us repetitively about the latest tragedy, drama, and trauma, to the sly marketing ploys to get us to buy, drink, eat, or consume the latest and greatest product, we insidiously grow more immune and less sensitive every day.
One of the greatest strengths a person can have is to be a sensitive person in today’s insensitive world—and this is becoming more and more of a challenge.
In Dr. Christiane Northrup’s new book, Dodging Energy Vampires, she devotes an entire book to helping the very sensitive find their true power and potential, while protecting themselves from those set out to abuse, use, and control the feelers of the world.

Her story is my story. Different circumstances same situation. This interview had a profound effect on me. I have been grieving that I had not been aware if the issues until now and I was pleasantly surprised to hear that she only just now became free. Ok. I am 56 and I am well into the journey but not free yet. Christiane, she is my soul sister now. I love her.
Vacheslav says
Well there is no room for repentance with this doctor. Guess what, I was the kid that killed the family cat and when left unchecked such people develop to be serial murderers. Fortunately, I could no more justify myself and I “changed” after reading the bible. Now I love cats and all my enemies. One they you mentioned right, is that when someone does not want to change the best way to help them is to fire or kick them out.
Jill says
Dr Northrup has shared much great information over the years, but this is quite an outdated view that anyone is separate from you and can be a ‘vampire,’ take energy from you and that you need to protect yourself from them. We are One and the same and the world is your projection. We see things as we are not as they are. You do not need protection from yourself. You only need to know who you truly are, which is eternal, not phenomenal.
Additionally, as you repair your digestion and restore your health with Ayurveda and Meditation, the world, what shows up in your experience, and how you respond to it will radically shift.
Blessings All ॐ

Thank You so much Dr John for offering this interview wiith Dr Christiane Northrup. What a very amazing, rich in content and profound conversation. I would like to give Thanks to Dr Northrup for sharing all this very personal knowledge acquired through life and living… This direct exchange between two great leaders and healers can bless all the listeners and energetically begin to transform the Collective Consciousness by awakening in greater ways all the empaths listening now and who will have the chance to listen in the future. THANK YOU very sincerely.
Karen says
Oh, this is SO good. Thank you, both Dr. John and Dr. Christiane, for offering and sharing this information. I too, can easily call this my biography – my life story. For too long, I thought there was something “wrong” with me, I was laughed at, and thought I was “by myself” in this sensitivity. I finally got to the point in my life that I stopped living behind the facade. What an exhausting way to live. Now that I am older, I adopted the “Popeye” mantra … “I y’am what I y’am,” and there is freedom and peace to that. If people don’t like me … WHO CARES. SO WHAT. What a blessing that this is coming to light and encourage people to be true to themselves and to live their authentic lives and bring light to this world.

Hi Dr. Doulliard and Dr. Northrup,
I am grateful for this truth and validation, I have lost 3 jobs in 2 years regarding this topic. I spoke my truth at those jobs, would NOT prescribe opioids in Urgent care, the whole bit! I was a Nurse Practitioner in Urgent Care, Addiction Medicine AND OBGYN!
I stopped texting or talking to these people, deleted them and walked away. There’s no sense! I came to my senses opened my Wellness Centered Massage Ayurveda and Yoga. I graduated with Dr. John as my teacher in KSA 9, Dr. Northrup..I visited your clinic in Yarmouth back in the 90’s.
PS: I have your letter with Butterfly …Permission to be Happy and give it to my clients to sign.
Happy to report…Quit my Nurse Practitioner /Western Medicine job…Just opened my Wellness Center Again and took my power back! Now to be silent and pray! FYI…signed up with Balboa press to write my first book!
Whats that song…Im on the right track baby I was born this way!?
Bless them, change me! Love & Light

I got the old soul empath result when I took the quiz she offers. I related to most of the results even though sometimes I like crowds at fun events like music events. Thanks for the interesting interview.
Katie says
Something I have learnt, we all take too much too personally in life. We have to try to take things less personally and we’ll feel a lot happier for it!

Thank you for offering valuable knowledge
Don Andrade says
Thanks so much for offering this!
Since I was very young I have picked-up on the energy of those around me in a significant way. The reality of being an empath in the modern world is something that is just now being talked about more often and freely. Developing the tools to refine energetic fields etc.. are all great practices that truly work, but to have a conversation and connect with others to just share may be the most powerful of all. So Thanks Again I’m looking forward to hearing what Christine has to say:) -DON:)
Don Andrade says
Awesome! Just enjoyed hearing this again and am blessed that you offered this:) Ordered the book and am excited to read more.
