You can’t give what you don’t have

For those of us in the role of helping professionals, compassion fatigue is real, and it is the direct result of repeated exposure to highly emotional and traumatic situations. Consequently, when dealing with people and/or their pets and having to make difficult decisions that affect both on a regular basis, all too often we forget that we need to take care of ourselves.

What is the difference between compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma? How do these manifest themselves  and impact our ability to show up as our best selves in our personal and professional lives? How can we address these issues in practical and impactful ways? This webinar will help you  identify the signs of what some refer to as “burn out” and  will assist  in providing you with quality emotional self-care.
