How to deal with compassion fatigue - 8 Tips for Self-care and Love 

Excellent advice! As a trauma survivor who has worked in healthcare for over 28 yrs, compassion fatigue is real. As caregivers, we NEED to STOP wearing our fatigue as a badge of honor!

Shawn, this is absolutely great. I had a melt down yesterday, which was not good. I have two friends in hospital, lost my mum 10years ago, don't know why this came now. There are a lot of other items on the list, too many. Had know idear, but this is excacly what the problem was. Thankyou. Best wishes.

That was super good. I would replace forgiveness with acceptance since forgiveness is hierarchical and each point In your life is just as important as any other point. Excellent work.

i needed this. thank you.

Super helpful. Thank you.

Saying to schedule a day off is all well and good, but some caregivers don’t get that because they’re apparently the only one in their family that can do a damn thing and no one else helps

I am doing all the recommended things. How can I always tell when I am ready to take on more again? The other day I went for a walk and ended up walking 26 blocks in a relatively short period of time for someone my age. The problem is, how can I continue to recover while starting to do more succesful networking to help me with my career goals while I am still not working?
