Show Notes
Compassion fatigue is the stress that people experience from helping or wanting to help others who are experiencing trauma or suffering. Parents, health care workers, teachers, people with big hearts, … almost everyone experiences compassion fatigue at some point in their lives.
With everything that's going on in our communities right now, a lot of parents feel tasked with taking care of their community, family, themselves, the fear and sadness that we have while also trying to create some holiday magic and rituals and routines for our kids. How can we take care of ourselves and other caretakers? We discuss this and much more in today's episode.
In this episode on taking care after trauma we discuss:
- How is trauma affecting people?;
- Burnout: What does it look like?;
- What is compassion fatigue and how do people experience it?;
- Signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue;
- Strategies to hold space;
- And so much more!
