The Empath's Four Self States

Vital Mind Coaching

85,123 views

In this video, I outline a model where I explain the inner psychological landscape of empaths by understanding four core modes or self-states empaths experience - two of which are over-developed and two are under-developed.

This video lays the groundwork for understanding the insights to come in the rest of the series. It will help answer key questions like - why learning new skills is often not enough to repeat old patterns; why empaths are particularly attracted to narcissists and what empaths need to truly heal and become integrated.

The very best thing about Dr. Saad's intellect, is that it is mixed equally with wisdom.

You know you're an empath when you're watching videos about dissecting what it means to be an empath :)

Abdul. Your content is excellent. I have found that many channels discussing this material are unclear, confusing, contradictory, etc. However, your explanations are very clear, easy to understand with the bottom line being that they make sense. You explain specific clinical characteristics without all the ridiculous psychobabble typical of those with credentials in the mental health profession. Many of them cannot explain such things clearly because they obviously don't clearly understand the issues themselves, whereas you seem to have a very clear and personal understanding of the various types of narcissists. Not only do you understand and explain their typical behavior patterns but you also shed light on their thought process, internal state, and reasons for their behavior that are likewise easy to grasp because they make perfect sense to those of us with experience in Narcland. Thank you for this information, it has helped me to clearly understand the narc I am dealing with, and what I need to do in the future

I appreciate that you do not shrink away from more esoteric and archetypal concepts. I find it very helpful and have much respect for your contributions to my growth.

The inner child neglect turns him into a warrior when he finally grows up mentally and see the world for the way it really is

I'm an empath but it sometimes feel like a burden because energy vampires LOVE to attach themselves to us. I'm still blessed to have this gift❤😍. Thanks so much

This information given by this particular man, Abdul, is worth so much more than the time it takes to watch it! This man is practically a magician! If you really listen to what he says and think about and apply it! Ive already made huge HUGE improvements on understanding what I've been so confused by forever! Highly recommended

Best Psychologist on this earth PERIOD! I don't even know him personally and he understands EVERYTHING I GO THROUGH 100% I wish I knew him personally. I love the fact that he DOESN'T' SPEAK THE MEDICATION LANGUAGE 👍

I cannot believe how accurate your work is when it comes to the empath and narcissist relationship. It's like you are speaking directly to me. It's been 2 years since my split with the narcissist, and I'm still learning and healing. Thank you so much for your continued commitment to this incredibly toxic relationship.

Finally I can understand why I am the way I am. Thank you for your hard work 😓

@rainicascadia5514 7 years ago (edited)

Thank you so very much! I've been in "therapy" for most of my 61 years. Never was my my severe ptsd addressed. I guess it was the times I lived in. I thank you so much for explaining this issue! You've helped me more in a few minutes, free of charge, than years of expensive, pointless, and further trauma producing therapy ever did!. And never was my empathic behavior even noticed except by me.
