Wellness Retreat

Vicarious trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue can affect anyone in the helping professions.

This shift in the helper's inner self occurs due to continuous empathic engagement with clients who have experienced trauma.

Symptoms you may be experiencing:

  • Emotional exhaustion. Negative self-image. Depression.

  • Increased anxiety. Difficulty sleeping. Impaired appetite or binge eating. Feelings of hopelessness. Guilt. Lack of empathy.

  • Nothing left to give’ to loved ones outside of work.

  • Continuously thinking of work even on free time.

  • Loss of joy or meaning.

  • Relying on unhealthy ways to ‘numb out’.
