Compassion fatigue affects 40-60% of healthcare workers during their practice. Of those at least 20% will go on to more severe burnout and leave their profession. The medical model would have us believe that it is some sort of illness to be treated and cured. Instead we are all hardwired neurologically to respond in a way that automatically leads to compassion fatigue. Our training education fails to equip us with skills and awareness to manage ourselves in the face of other’s suffering. Rather than fighting or resisting or avoiding compassion fatigue, we must learn first to befriend it and then to learn skills that allow each of us to better manage ourselves while remaining connected and present to those who are suffering.

Emotional and spiritual pain impacts our health and well-being as much as physical illness. Growing research from the health care sciences points to measurable benefits when the underlying causes of suffering are diagnosed and responded to. This series offers lessons and simple practices for choosing healing attitudes in the face of illness and suffering. Total person wellness always includes a sense of meaning, hope, healthy relationships and the capacity for forgiveness. These same qualities are the antidotes to emotional suffering and spiritual pain. Here are some important ways that caregivers and those we care for can become medicine for each other.

Effective caregiving requires both technical and emotional skills. While caregivers deal with the inevitable emotions of those they care for― anger, anxiety, sadness and guilt ― the same realities show up for the caregiver as well. This series offers insights and practical ideas designed to give caregivers a hand in both understanding and working with those we care for. The goal is a more reciprocal approach to caregiving and care receiving. In rebalancing the caregiver relationship we will recognize what is most deeply human in each other.
