awww, client __, glad my CF intervention 'changed [your] life.'
I no longer offer them b/c I think

#ValuesAlignment & #boundaries prevent #CompassionFatigue (CF) & #burnout
when we #work at #aligned places, & #live in aligned ways.

I do offer 3 or 6 #Liminal #Listening sessions for such #clarity.

says "real #self-care takes real #systemic #change,"
& guides #ValuesAlignment.

New study; data from 12 countries:

" #Workplace #burnout driven by broken #systems,

The leader who holds everyone together - who's holding them?

A PhD student almost quit #AnimalResearch - not due to a lack of passion, but due to #compassionfatigue.
What changed? Hearing: “I’ve felt that too.”
Support doesn't change the job, but it changes how you feel doing it.

Compassion fatigue is real — and it's not weakness. Offloading to someone who listens is how you reinflate. Don't believe it works that easily? Try it free. Link in bio. #CompassionFatigue #Burnout #FeelHeard #ActiveListening #TalkToSomeone #ConversationCompanions

My strange love for musicals amplifies my world view. Coincidence, algorithms, self-deception or cherry-picked confirmation, it's better when delivered in the form of a musical.
