When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ ― Fred Rogers
Has ‘compassion fatigue’ affected your job?
Therapy for Therapists
For Professional Care Providers Only (In-person and Online)
Therapists, social workers, caretakers, pastors, healthcare workers, veterinarians, first responders, school counselors, etc., you have a generous heart and help make this world a better place. Your profession has always been stressful, but the Covid-19 pandemic intensified those stressors. If you feel like you have lost yourself due to the stress of caring for others, you may be experiencing what is known as compassion fatigue.
Signs of compassion fatigue may include:
Feelings of powerlessness in the face of a patient suffering
Reduced feelings of empathy and sensitivity
Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by work demands
Feeling detached, numb, and emotionally disconnected
Difficulty concentrating and making decisions
Difficulty sleeping and sleep disturbances like nightmares
Increased conflict in personal relationships
Self-care neglect
Combat workplace stress and compassion fatigue with therapy
As a fellow therapist, I can relate to your career-specific challenges. At times, we aren’t comfortable asking or accepting help, and believe that because we understand the impact of stress and trauma, we will naturally have solutions to the obstacles in our lives.
You know it’s ok to seek additional support. We all need it at times. Let’s work together to help reground you, find clarity, and find your inner strength and peace.
Together we will:
Implement necessary boundaries to prevent compassion fatigue
Develop compassion and kindness towards yourself
Transforming challenges into growth and connection
Connect with your inner self and intuition
Set boundaries for personal self-care
Are you ready to reduce stress and improve your work/life balance?
