The Sensitive Person’s
Survival Guide: [ Review from Twin Cities Wellness, June 2001 - www.tcwellness.com ] Dr. Mesich, a psychologist, writes about experiences in her early practice
that were creating inexplicable depression. Through a series of coincidences
with patients' stories and her own parallel feelings she came to realize she was
absorbing, kind of like osmosis, the feelings and emotions of those she was
working with in her practice. Of course, many of those she was working with were
troubled and overcome with depression and these feelings were incredibly
disturbing to her. To her surprise, very little, if anything, was written about
this in conventional psychology books so much of her research came from
alternative sources and from her own navigation through the dark waters of
depression. Mesich claims that "sensitive" people are empaths who are receptive
to the emotions of others whether they like it or not. She believes many are
born with a natural ability for empathic communication and that because of our
"intellectual" language and culture, empaths are often overlooked,
misunderstood, and misdiagnosed. Psychic ability and empathic sensitivity and
often depression go hand-in-hand according to Mesich. When reading the book, I
experienced insight into my often moody daughter, an extremely sensitive and
empathic person from birth, who at age five had developed psychic abilities and
was able to see into other-dimensional realities.
