Compassion fatigue is a state of emotional, mental and \/ or physical exhaustion, which is a consequence of continuous exposure to other people’s suffering. Although it is typical for people in helping professions, many of us who are in frequent contact with others or are perceived as “helpers” in their close environment is also subject to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
