Hello Health Professionals & Caregivers,
Let’s face it, you're a giver. It’s natural and easy for you. Until it’s not. Sometimes you wake up for your work day or shift and realize how exhausted you are. You just don’t have it in you to help others today. You muster it up, of course. You deal and plow through it, of course. You're a professional. You’re responsible and dutiful becuase there are people, clients, and patients who rely on you, not to mention your family.
Sometimes every little request for help from your clients or patients seems way too much. You feel shame well up. Maybe you’re wondering why you are doing this anymore because you’re just not feeling it today. And with that thought more shame or guilt rises to the surface. You’re feeling disconnected from the reason you went into health care. The words “passion” and “sense of purpose” seem far, far away. Isn’t compassion fatigue something that happens to someone else?
Today, something is dawning on you that change is afoot. You might be in transition or experiencing several transitions in your life. There might be another way, another path but you’re not sure about what it means for you both professionally and personally.
It's
important to work with a counselor who's a good fit for you. I offer a
free 10-minute call to explore the best steps forward. Schedule a call.
If you are experiencing an emergency, please call:
This realization brings you to a quiet, tender place inside.
Realizing you’re in transition and fatigued is hard to admit to
yourself. You know you’re capable, you can handle the suffering of
others and at the same time you feel tired. Something is out of
balance.
Whether you’re a counselor, nurse or other healthcare provider, you need someone who gets it. Sometimes it’s hard to take care of you like you take care of the others around you. Reaching out for counseling and coaching is asking for a helping hand.
Holistic counseling offers an opportunity to reconnect, rebuild and
cultivate your mind body resiliency. Through skillful means that
involves empathy, collaboration and a focus on you, my goal is to help
you gently face why you’re compassion fatigued and what’s keeping you
from your purpose. In working with a mind-body psychotherapist you can
gently face over-giving patterns that no longer serve you and begin to
heal and shift into being compassion-invigorated.
If this sounds like a balm to you, contact me
with your questions. If you like, we can also discuss the practical
steps of coordinating the time to take care of you like you take care of
others. Ready to receive and handcraft
your health? Call today.
