Coping with Compassion Fatigue

btn download orange

The original definition of Compassion Fatigue came from the healthcare industry — “the physical and mental exhaustion and emotional withdrawal experienced by those who care for sick or traumatized people over an extended period of time.” The definition more recently expanded to “apathy or indifference toward the suffering of others, as the result of overexposure to tragic news stories and images and the subsequent appeals for assistance.”

Not only do professional caregivers deal with this, but more of us recently are reporting this due to the overlapping challenges of pandemic fatigue, burnout, stress, and the variety of newsworthy events (COVID plus Ukraine plus School Shootings plus political insanity plus….). It gets to the point where many usually caring people start feeling indifferent — unable to take on the emotional burden of a patient’s agony, unable to watch the news one more minute, unable to donate or give on behalf of those suffering, and unable to be empathetic or concerned about family members, coworkers, or their own self-care.

Compassion Fatigue sneaks up on people and is often called “burnout,” but that is a separate issue entirely. Burnout comes from poorly managed stress, while Compassion Fatigue is more specific to our reactions to the overwhelming challenges on the outside.
