Healthcare Professionals
Has your chosen profession become a job? Did you lose the joy and excitement that you once felt in your career? Is your personal health (physical, emotional) suffering?
Burnout for healthcare professionals is at an all-time high. Chronic exposure to work-related stress inevitably leads to negative consequences, professionally and personally. Emotional exhaustion, feeling a low sense of accomplishment, desensitization, reduced efficacy, and increased apathy are just a few symptoms of this work-related, toxic overload.
Compassion Fatigue is a state experienced by those helping people distress, often healthcare workers. It is described as an extreme state of tension and preoccupation with “patients’ suffering” to a degree that secondary trauma is created for the “healthcare provider”.
Battling burnout and compassion fatigue begins with prioritizing self-care.
