“There are four kinds of people in this world: Those who have been caregivers. Those who are caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.” – Rosalyn Carter.
Compassion vs. Empathy
Compassion means suffering together. With compassion, you feel the pain of others and want to help to stop pain and suffering. With empathy, you appreciate the pain of others, but you do not feel the need to help alleviate that pain.
What is compassion Fatigue?
Compassion fatigue is a set of symptoms that one experiences when exposed to the suffering or pain of others. It’s your body and mind’s survival response when you care for someone over a long period. Compassion fatigue has two components: Burn out and Secondary street trauma.
