Empathy fatigue, also known as compassion fatigue, happens when mental health professionals feel emotionally drained from constantly helping others, leading to burnout and a sense of detachment.
Common signs include constant tiredness, feeling emotionally drained, trouble concentrating, and having trouble empathizing or connecting with clients.
It can lead to feeling numb, stressed, and unhappy with the job, affecting both the professional's well-being and their ability to care for others.
Self-care, setting boundaries, seeking supervision or peer support, and taking regular breaks are effective ways to prevent or manage empathy fatigue.
