What is the difference between empathy and compassion? One of the criticisms of empathy is that is leaves you vulnerable to compassion fatigue. The helping professions are notoriously exposed to burn out and empathic distress. Well-intentioned helpers end up as emotional basket cases. There is truth to it, but there is also an effective antidote: expanded empathy. Discover a radical proposal: how providers of empathy can overcome compassion fatigue and regulate their own empathy to manage and overcome the risk of burnout and compassion fatigue. Not to be missed!
