EP58 - Compassion Fatigue

06/27/23 • 28 min

Compassion fatigue is emotional and physical exhaustion as a result of giving compassion to others who are experiencing stress or trauma. While giving compassion and support to others, it can be tricky to manage our own needs and boundaries. Compassion fatigue can sneak up on people, leading to exhaustion, irritability, blunting of empathy or other emotions, detachment, self-blame, cynicism, or rumination. If you are someone who finds themselves in the position of caring for another and are experiencing any of these symptoms, tune in and join us for this important conversation.

Join us as we illuminate this often-unrecognized condition of compassion fatigue. We not only provide understanding of what this means, but also ways to improve symptoms and prevent compassion fatigue in the future. When we care for some in need, we are at risk of forgetting about or neglecting our own needs. This puts not only our physical health at risk, but also our mental health. Let us give guidance to prevent you from falling into the trap of compassion fatigue!
