BONUS | The High Cost of Caring: Compassion Fatigu‪e‬

While we are getting things ready for Season 2 of Checking In, we wanted to share a bonus episode with you from our friends at The Savvy Psychologist! Dr. Jade Wu takes the science of psychology and makes it both entertaining and relatable – we're excited to be bringing you one of our favorites from their show for our Checking In audience. Some people who continuously care for others burn out and experience compassion fatigue, a very real and natural psychological phenomenon. This episode discusses recognizing compassion fatigue and creating coping mechanisms, beginning with having compassion for oneself. Stay tuned for Season 2 of Checking In soon, and make sure to subscribe to The Savvy Psychologist for more great episodes like this one.
