Episode 23 // Burn Out by Life Beyond The Massage Table

This is an issue that is rarely talked about, except perhaps among doctors and nurses. But I think we need to talk about it, because there's a certain stigma or tendency to ignore it. We stick our heads in the sand or pretend it's not as big a problem as it can be.

What issue am I talking about? Caregiver burnout. Sometimes called compassion fatigue. The state where someone who is taking care of others gets to the point where they're feeling complete physical, mental and emotional exhaustion.
