4. How to tell if you have compassion fatigue or burnout and how you can recover

Compassion fatigue and burnout are two incredibly common experiences for anyone who takes care of others. In this episode, we look at how the brain's intention to keep us safe can lead us to experience emotions and symptoms that can make our jobs and lives even more difficult. We talk through:

• the signs of compassion fatigue
• the difference between compassion fatigue and burnout
• why social service providers need to be watching and prepared for this
• what restoration and recovery from compassion fatigue/burnout might look like
