Many helping professionals assume they're burned out.

Sometimes they're actually experiencing compassion fatigue.

Burnout often comes from:
• Workload
• Long hours
• Organizational stress

Compassion fatigue often comes from:
• Carrying others' pain
• Repeated exposure to trauma
• Emotional exhaustion

The distinction matters because recovery may require different support.
If you're caring for everyone else, don't forget to check in with yourself.

Burnout isn't always a people problem.
Sometimes it's a systems problem.

5 workplace factors that contribute to burnout:
→ Unclear expectations
→ Chronic understaffing
→ Constant urgency
→ Lack of recognition
→ Poor boundaries

Self-care matters.

But no amount of self-care can fix a workplace culture that rewards exhaustion.

What workplace factor do you think contributes most to burnout?

Plot twist: The cardigan wasn’t what made me a good therapist. 😅 Years of experience, training, and showing up fully present? That helped. These days, you’ll find me choosing comfort more often than not—and my clients are doing just fine.

Employees don't need leaders to have all the answers.

They need leaders who create psychological safety.
The leaders who make the biggest impact aren't necessarily the most charismatic.

They're the ones who:
✓ Listen without judgment
✓ Communicate clearly
✓ Respect boundaries
✓ Recognize effort
✓ Lead with empathy

Mental health at work isn't just an HR issue.
It's a leadership issue.

What's one quality you've experienced in a leader that made you feel supported?
