Compassion fatigue

Compassion fatigue is the burnout that comes from absorbing others' pain without replenishing your own reserves, leaving you depleted and numb just when you need to stay present. Recognizing it early and rebuilding your own wellspring is not selfish—it's the only way to remain available to those who need you.
