\\ WHY NOT MAKING YOURSELF A PRIORITY CAN LEAD TO COMPASSION FATIGUE- HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS WITHOUT REACHING THE POINT OF BURN OUT!
What is compassion fatigue? Can you really experience burn out that's not related to a job?
We dive into what it's like to take care of everyone else to the point of hitting burn out and experiencing compassion fatigue. This is actually being evaluated to become a mental health diagnosis; a very real and exhausting condition to have to manage on top of every day life.
Some signs that you or someone else is experiencing compassion fatigue:
- Change in attitude or mood, loss of enjoyment, loss of desire/passion, lack of humor or being able to make light of situations, irritability, a desire for change, interrupted sleep, reduced empathy, disconnect, and a sense of wanting to get away from where you are-
So how do we recognize and let others know when we are experiencing burn out and compassion fatigue? Listen in as we discuss what to look for, how to navigate, and minimize the risk when our plate is full.
I share some ways to help recognize and re-evaluate your level as a provider/caretaker/etc. Sometimes having a visual representation can help put it into a different perspective and illustrate where some shifts can be made to help you out!
Remember, everything is progress and we just need to make sure we are applying our own O2 mask on before we assist others with theirs ;)
