Have you ever felt yourself dissociating from being the shoulder to cry on for the hundredth time? The weight of others’ emotions can sometimes turn empathy into vicarious exhaustion. So, this week on Self-Improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella chats with clinical psychologist Shannon Swales to learn about compassion fatigue.

Drawing from both professional expertise and personal experiences, Shannon Swales' journey in the field of psychology has been deeply influenced by her own encounter with burnout and previous mental health struggles. But, she set out to heal herself, documenting her progress in a journal that’s now become a popular blog and podcast called ‘When Burnout Becomes Reality’.

In this episode, Shannon Swales shares that compassion fatigue is a result of the trauma load that one is carrying vicariously, while typical burnout may be a result of various sources. She explains that self-care is extremely important in managing and preventing compassion fatigue, including mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy and other approaches.

Together, Marie and Shannon Swales discuss what organizations can do to support their employees and volunteers who might be experiencing compassion fatigue. So, tune in for an insightful conversation filled with personal stories, expert knowledge, and more!
