Energy vampires are people who suck our energy dry. Everyone can benefit from skills on how to cope with them. You can especially benefit if you are an "intuitive empath" who absorbs the pain and negativity of others into your body, and become exhausted by it.

As a psychiatrist who specializes in intuition, I know that a very powerful life lesson is learning how to attract positive relationships and situations toward us. Our relationships aren't random. We must begin to use our intuition to actively draw what's positive our way, a people skill most of our parents didn't know or teach us.

Fear is the biggest energy thief there is. A master seducer and gigantic source of negative energy, fear shamelessly robs of us of everything good and powerful, preys on our vulnerabilities. Many people become mesmerized for a lifetime, letting negative attitudes seize control. Enough! Though some fears are intuitively protective but we can't let the irrational ones bamboozle us.

"When I was a child, my family did not encourage me to develop my psychic abilities," Dr. Orloff notes. "In fact, I was discouraged. But then as a teenager, I met Dr. Thelma Moss at UCLA and she invited me to come work as a psychic and a research assistant in her lab.  "So that's when I really had the first validation of my abilities. I had a dream when I was working with her that told me to get an M.D., to go to medical school so I would have the credentials to help legitimize the psychic world."
