If you're a pastor or are shepherded by a pastor, it is important to know that the work of the pastor is hard and can have a deep impact on the leader of such work.
In this episode, we explore the emotional and psychological cost of deeply caring for others.
In today's episode, we delve into compassion fatigue, its causes, and the impact it has on individuals in helping professions.
Here's what you'll learn:
What is compassion fatigue and how does it differ from burnout?
Professions most susceptible to compassion fatigue.
Warning signs and symptoms to watch out for.
Strategies for managing and preventing compassion fatigue.
I'm excited to speak with Kevin Bueltmann, a pastor who helps pastors with Compassion Fatigue. He went through it himself.
I encourage you to find out more about him and his ministry for pastors at https://www.shepherdscanyonretreat.org/
If you are wondering if you are burnt out and/or have compassion fatigue, we have a great conversation with practical ideas. I believe this will bless you!
Blessings,
Belah

Graduate Quote:
Before the program… “I felt that I was not connecting as well with my wife and children as I should. I could sense my wife's frustration with me…I was tired, I was grouchy, I was irritable and it was affecting my most important relationships. It was negatively impacting them and my relationships with them, and it needed to change.”
After the program… ”My overwhelming feeling coming out of this course is gratitude - gratitude for my wife, for who she is, for how she has hung in there with me and not given up on me, for how she has continued to love me for who I am. I am grateful for this course and the blind spots it has helped me recognize. I wasn't a good listener at all. I was grouchy. I was ungrateful. I was often guilty of having a transactional mindset when it came to sexual intimacy. All that has changed for the better. It's all about the routine, and doing things [taught in the program] each day.”
