COMPASSION FATIGUE: Be Aware & Beware!

AND … BURNOUT

By Staff Reporters

Compassion fatigue is emotional exhaustion caused by the repeated exposure to others’ suffering. It’s like burning out your empathy circuits. Caregivers, doctors, nurses, healthcare workers and anyone in the helping professions are especially susceptible.

When you’re constantly giving support, it’s easy to feel drained and detached. To combat compassion fatigue, practice self-care and set healthy boundaries.

So, remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup – take care of yourself so you can take care of others.
