Compassion Fatigue and the Burden of Empathy
Self-care is a priority and necessity – not a luxury – in the work that we do as physiotherapists.
In the globalised society with the world at our fingertips, the constant exposure of relentless stories from media, in addition to the steady rise of both technology and social isolation, makes Compassion Fatigue a bigger issue than ever.
Follow along a physiotherapy student's journey as he battles with Compassion Fatigue and learn that caring for others starts with caring for yourself first.
