EMPOWERED BY EMPATHY

Rosetree's program can teaches people how to apply their empathic gifts to the problems and opportunities of everyday life. The 25 lessons are aimed at helping amateur empaths fine-tune and enjoy their skills instead of feeling weird or being frequently disrupted by all the unexplained sensations they receive. The program is sprinkled with insights from the spiritual, psychological, and medical worlds but stays on the task of integrating one's talents into a conscious and positive sense of self. It's too bad the entire production was not narrated by Marilyn Cooley, who did the introduction and other segments. The author's reading has an exaggerated, almost singsong, quality that interferes with the program's serious intentions. T.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 06/ JAN 07]
