Compassion Fatigue

It wasn’t a sudden awareness, perhaps that would have been easier.

Instead it was this consistent twinge that something wasn’t working for me anymore.

Underneath it all I thought if I admitted how I felt that I’d disappoint others.

Which could be true. But, I couldn’t go on disappointing myself. 

Little by little things that used to bring me joy began to feel heavy and flat.

I’m very good with feeling my feelings and processing things.

But, I had numerous experiences that showed others couldn’t handle me unless I was a specific way and showing up for them.

So I got very good at handling my own stuff, which is a plus in many ways.

There is so much that goes into writing these emails and blogs.

I always send the energy out that you will benefit in some way from what I share. Except I sometimes forget to ask myself what I can receive from them. 

Just as over consumption of things can be harmful to our health, so can excessive output of even creative ideas and insights. I had to face the facts. I seriously over-gave for many years.

Giving is wonderful and can often feel good. It was the consistent over giving that snuck up on me and burnt me out. And then the awareness of compassion fatigue.

This all to say that I will be taking a much needed break from writing blogs for a few months.

I will still be doing private sessions

You can check out my healing audios and I have written well over 200 blogs that are full of amazing information and inspiration.

I will also be putting the finishing touches on my burnout course. 

So many people are suffering from all different stages of burnout. And I have never found any real information to help reverse or prevent burnout that worked or was maintainable.

So I am taking my personal experience and creating my own healing course for burnout!

I am excited to share more information about it soon!
