Compassion fatigue is one of the most pervasive and least discussed traumas that nearly every caregiver feels at one time or another. Millions of people choose a helper profession (everything from nurse to lawyer to therapist to veterinarian) because they care deeply and feel called to service. Millions more are thrust into unpaid caregiving roles due to illness, injury, or the natural course of aging.Nearly everyone in a heart-based role has experienced some sort of compassion fatigue or burnout. And nearly everyone feels guilt and shame for their fatigue. They are caregivers; shouldn’t they be unstoppable and invincible?This book brings together experts from across a wide variety of professions, backgrounds, and cultures to tell their stories of experiencing compassion fatigue and to give practical, useful, actionable advice and solutions on how to build personal resilience, how to avoid compassion fatigue, and how to rekindle your own spirit when compassion fatigue and burnout drag you down into the darkness.ContributorsJean Accius, PhD - Chief Executive Officer of a national health equity nonprofitFaith Albright, DVM - Veterinarian and owner/operator of an animal sanctuaryLarry Brouder - Global employee mobility expert and speakerDennis Brozzo, PMP - Executive, leadership, and life coachRicha Chadha, MBA, MS - Mindset coach, speaker, and organizational psychologistPeter Dudley, PCC - Leadership and life coach, author, and publisherNayely Duran, ACC - Consultant, trainer, and executive leadership coachTammy Hurst, RN, MSN, NC-BC - Registered nurse and certified nurse coachCatherine Krause - Speaker, consultant, and developer of the Empowered Aging frameworkJerrald Krause, PhD - Professor and co-founder of Center for Applied Social Analysis and EducationAntoinette LeCouteur - Unpaid family caregiver and philanthropy advisor and consultantJill Louise Léger - Geriatric recreational therapist and creator of The Sunflower Channel on YouTubeLaura Plato, MSc - CEO of The New Frequency and social impact technology executiveDr. Kenya Oscar Radoli - Technology sociologist, business innovation consultant, and organization culture architectSally Spencer-Thomas, PsyD - Clinical psychologist, speaker, and renowned mental health advocateMargaret Stauffer, MS, LMFT - Licensed marriage and family therapist and retired nonprofit directorAllison K.
