Compassion Fatigue
- You’re kind, compassionate, and caring—toward others.
- You say yes to others when you want to say no.
- You say no to yourself when you want to say yes.
- You put everyone else’s needs first.
- You’re last on your list.
If you’re weary, exhausted, or discouraged, I understand.
The same qualities that enable you to be compassionate toward others can leave you vulnerable to a cycle of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm that can lead to compassion fatigue, exhaustion, and burnout.
I know how important it is to find simple and effective strategies that work.
Compassion fatigue can develop when we experience
demands that exceed our capacity to respond
insufficient resources to meet significant needs
ongoing exposure to traumatic events, circumstances, or people who are suffering
threats to personal safety
Our capacity for self-regulation must keep pace with the level of dysregulation experienced by those in our care.Forward Facing® Coaching can help.
Learn how to sustain your self-care while caring for others.
