Understanding the Complexity of Eating Disorders

Kat answers a listener’s question about compassion fatigue and talks about burn out in helping professions.  

Our listener has been having a difficult time coping with work lately – she works with cancer patients trying to help them engage in meaningful leisure activities. The job is so rewarding but she is feeling drained.

She’s finding a lack of motivation in motivating others and asks Kat for advice because compassion fatigue is real!

Most jobs come with their struggles, you can have gratitude for the specific brand of “hard” that you get to deal with but also acknowledge that things are difficult, frustrating and there will be times when you are “over it”.
