Welcome to another episode of the Animal Academy Podcast. Taking care of another living being requires us to give a part of ourselves including our hearts. When in a caregiver role over time, it’s common for people to lose themselves in their role and not always take care of their own needs. This may result in a condition known as Compassion Fatigue.
In this episode, I will be speaking with Patricia Smith who is a certified Compassion Fatigue Specialist, author of many books on this subject, presenter and the founder of the Compassion Fatigue Awareness Project.
