The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour – 02.21.19

My guest is Los Angeles psychiatrist Judith Orloff and as I predicted in my Frequent Alert before the show, it was an astonishingly inspiring and educational hour about the empathic side of us human beings, and especially about those of us who are empaths and who very deeply experience the people and the environment around us.  I talked more than usual about my wife Ginger, who is a profound empath, or "highly sensitive person," and continued to understand her better through Judith's words.   What better endorsement can I give to Judith and to her work!  I spoke about the special dangers of psychiatry and psychiatric drugs to highly sensitive, empathic people.   We also had great callers, and at one point my connectivity to my own show broke down for several minutes, but Judith and the caller stayed engaged on the continuing live show without noticing my absence.  Exciting!  One of the best programs we've had.
