Today I speak with Carla McLaren.

Carla is an award-winning author and an Empath whose approach to working with emotions

has helped countless numbers of people heal from trauma.

She is the author of a new book, The Language of Emotions, What Your Feelings are trying to tell

you, as well as a Sounds True Audio Learning Series,

on the language of emotions, about how to unlock and learn from the wisdom held within each of our emotions.

Carla and I spoke about the idea of what it means to be an Empath,

how to talk to children about their emotions,

viewing emotions in terms other than positive versus negative,

as well as learning how to listen to our emotions.

Here's my conversation with Carla McLaren.

You're someone that I think of as an original, someone whose work comes from your own life your own

original sources of material in fact the word empath what it means for someone to be an empath I heard that Empath what it means for someone to be an Empath. I heard that word first

from you. So where did you get this idea that you were an Empath and what does it mean to be an Empath?

We were trying to figure out where the word came from and I think it came from a Star Trek episode

where a young woman didn't speak but she only read emotions from people and they called her an empath.

So that's where that's where most people know it from.
