In this episode, we explore the cyclical nature of compassion fatigue, examining how it can trap animal welfare workers and caregivers in a pattern of chronic stress and emotional depletion. We contrast the pathology cycle—marked by overextension, denial, and eventual burnout—with the renewal cycle, which emphasizes boundaries, self-awareness, recovery, and sustainability. Listeners are invited to reflect on where they fall within the cycle and are offered insights and tools to help shift from a state of suffering to one of healing and resilience.
