As Veterinarians we sometimes struggle with Compassion Fatigue. Compassion fatigue is not the same as general burnout, though the two often go hand in hand.  Burnout stems from overwork, long hours, and chronic stress.  Compassion Fatigue, on the other hand, is more emotional and relational.  On this podcast let's talk about compassion fatigue and what we can do to begin to work our way out of it and prevent it from damaging our love for our veterinary career.

In this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Dov Gebien for a deeply personal and raw conversation about addiction, stigma, and redemption within the medical profession. Dr. Gebien, an emergency physician, shares his courageous story of opioid addiction—tracing his journey from the initial dependency that crept in after multiple back surgeries, through the devastating fallout of withdrawal, arrest, and prison, to his eventual recovery and fight to reclaim both his medical license and sense of self.The episode explores the culture of medicine and the harsh judgment often faced by healthcare professionals struggling with substance use. Dr. Gebien opens up about the profound shame and isolation that accompany addiction, explaining how secrecy and fear of exposure perpetuate suffering. He discusses how his turning point came when he finally “came clean,” recounting the unexpected compassion from some colleagues, but also the widespread mistreatment and lack of understanding he encountered—especially compared to how the system treats those with alcohol use disorder or physical illness.Dr. Gebien and Dr. Bonta delve into how the medical system, historically complicit in the opioid crisis, continues to stigmatize opioid addiction in its ranks, and they candidly address the punitive versus rehabilitative paths offered to healthcare workers in crisis. Dr. Gebien reflects on how recovery transformed his approach to medicine, fostering empathy and changing the way he relates to patients facing addiction.Now a community physician, public speaker, and researcher with published work on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Dr. Gebien unpacks his reinvention and the ongoing challenges of regaining trust and credibility within his field. The episode is a powerful meditation on perseverance, accountability, and hope—the “hard-won kind” forged through adversity.Episode Highlights1. The Power of Honesty : Telling the truth about addiction, even when it's painful, is the starting point for recovery and lightens the emotional burden.2. Compassion Over Judgment : Healthcare needs more compassion and less stigma toward addiction—judgment only deepens isolation and suffering for both patients and clinicians.3. Addiction Knows No Boundaries : Opioid addiction can affect anyone—doctors, professionals, or neighbors—not just the stereotypical “skid row” population.4. Burnout Breeds Judgment : Compassion fatigue and harsh attitudes in emergency medicine can lead to diminished empathy for those with addiction struggles.5. Redefining Professional Redemption : Recovery and return to practice after addiction require perseverance, transparency, and a willingness to rebuild credibility from scratch.6. Forgiveness and Second Chances Reintegration into medicine is possible, but it demands humility, hard work, and meeting rigorous requirements to ensure public safety.7. Continuous Recovery Accountability Structured support systems—therapy groups, monitoring, and regular check-ins—are vital in maintaining long-term recovery and reducing relapse risk.8. Experience Builds Better Doctors Personal hardship, including addiction and recovery, can foster stronger empathy, better listening skills, and more effective patient care.Episode Timestamps3:32 – Resilient Hope Amid Adversity9:32 – Addiction's Story: A Broader Insight10:54 – Opioid Dependency Misunderstanding17:12 – Compassion in Addiction Treatment21:07 – Forgiveness and Reintegration in Healthcare23:39 – Challenges Reveal True Character27:13 – Recovery: Holistic Approaches Versus Cure29:38 – Expressing Myself Through Recovery33:20 – Challenges of Reintegration for Felons37:01 – Healthcare Workers' Untreated Disorders Insight39:10 – Diaphragm Cramp Research Breakthrough42:33 – Rediscovering Purpose in Medicine45:00 – Secrets, Addiction, and Consequences48:44 – Finding Hope After DisgraceDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

“The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss and not be touched by it is as unrealistic as expecting to walk through water and not get wet.”In this heartfelt and practical episode, we're diving into a topic that hits close to home for many who lead, serve, and support others: Compassion Fatigue.If you've ever felt emotionally drained, physically exhausted, or like you've lost your sense of purpose in helping roles—you're not alone. This episode is for you.What You'll Learn:What compassion fatigue really is (and what it isn't)How to recognize the signs before it leads to burnoutTangible steps to prevent and manage it in healthy, life-giving waysWhat is Compassion Fatigue?Compassion fatigue is more than just being tired—it's the cost of caring deeply, especially when we regularly witness pain, suffering, or trauma. It's where vicarious trauma and burnout meet.You might be experiencing compassion fatigue if you:Absorb others' painFeel overwhelmed or emotionally numbStruggle to see progress or purpose in your workRecognizing the Signs:Emotional: Helplessness, anger, sadness, hypervigilance Cognitive: Apathy, distraction, trauma preoccupation Interpersonal: Isolation, mistrust, relational numbness Physical: Exhaustion, frequent illness, chronic pain Behavioral: Irritability, addiction, negativity Work-Related: Absenteeism, detachment, loss of morale6 Practical Ways to Manage Compassion Fatigue:Press Pause – Rest, reset, and find your rhythm againCreate Space – Set boundaries and say “no” without guiltRemember Your Why – Reconnect to your purposeBuild Community – Healing happens in safe relationshipsMake Healthy Decisions – Small changes like water, sunlight, less screen timeTake One Step – Choose one action today: therapy, journaling, or deep breathingReflection & Next Steps:How is compassion fatigue showing up in your life?What's helped you stay grounded and energized?What's one small step you can take today toward healing?

Looking at how we don't have to be superheroes, unplug from the system, or sacrifice who we are in order to make a difference. Caring for ourselves and living our best lives is a courageous act in the face of chaos and taking care of ourselves first means we are able to help those around us all the way through and out the other side of chaotic times.

As we proceed to prioritize the unique concept of mental beauty, episode 115 of the Dare To Share Your Untold Story Podcast, Mental Beauty Segments, The Cost of Always Being Strong: Navigating Emotional Labour and Compassion Fatigue. In relation to this episode topic the prior episode 54 has been selected for further exploration and deeper dive. In episode 54, titled “She Smiles, She Empowers, While Simultaneously Grieving & Mourning”, with guest, Saidat Abari. Her journey is a profound example of how embracing vulnerability and allowing ourselves to grieve can lead to deeper healing and growth. Often, we believe that resilience is about powering through life's challenges without pause. But Saidat reminds us that resilience can also mean slowing down, feeling our emotions fully, and finding the courage to share our pain. Her story speaks to the heart of what we call Mental Beauty—redefining strength and recognizing that true empowerment comes from integrating both our light and shadow. Saidat's willingness to share her untold story sheds light on a crucial truth: even those who radiate positivity and strength need space to release, reflect, and renew. Saidat's Mental Beauty Rethink challenges us to embrace every part of our emotional journey. Her headline, “Powerful Woman Feels Weak”, is a poignant reminder that strength and vulnerability coexist. Even someone known as the “happiness infuser” can carry deep, unspoken pain. But as Saidat reflects, healing begins with giving herself permission to feel. She's learning to get “comfortably uncomfortable” with sharing her grief, a process that's foreign yet deeply necessary. 3 Practical ‘Mental Beauty Tips' inspired by Episode 115: Acknowledge Your Full Range of Emotions: Resilience isn't about pushing through or ignoring difficult emotions; it's about allowing yourself to experience them fully. Take time to recognize and validate your feelings, even the uncomfortable ones. Embracing your vulnerability creates space for true inner strength to grow. Release Self-Imposed Expectations: Notice where you may be placing unrealistic expectations on yourself to always appear strong or positive. Give yourself permission to let go of these pressures. Resilience includes self-compassion and understanding that you don't need to have it all together all the time. Find Safe Spaces for Authentic Expression: Surround yourself with people and environments where you feel safe to be your genuine self. This could be through therapy, supportive friendships, or personal reflection practices. These spaces allow you to explore your emotions freely and strengthen the connection to your true, resilient self. Episode 115 Takeaway: A self-care practice called ‘Mindful Self-Compassion Journaling':  It involves setting aside a few minutes each day to write down your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Start by reflecting on any challenges or difficult feelings you've experienced, allowing yourself to acknowledge them openly.   Then, shift your focus to self-compassion by writing supportive and kind responses to your inner struggles, as if you were speaking to a dear friend.  Finally, note one or two strengths or positive qualities that helped you navigate these experiences, even if it's simply the courage to reflect. This process not only promotes self-acceptance but also strengthens resilience by fostering a gentle, understanding relationship with yourself.

There are moments when the weight of the world feels too heavy to carry—especially for those who are natural caregivers, helpers, and encouragers. In today's devotional, Alexis A. Goring explores compassion fatigue—a very real emotional exhaustion that can happen when you’re constantly giving of yourself to help others. Drawing from Psalm 145:9, “The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made,” we’re reminded that while we may reach the end of our emotional strength, God never does. He never tires, never grows weary, and always has time for your burdens. We encourage you to pause and pray: “Lord, help me cast my cares on You and remind me that I don’t need to carry it all. Thank You for your limitless compassion.” Whether you're in ministry, caregiving, or just the “strong friend” who everyone leans on, today is your invitation to unplug, rest, and reconnect with the One who never sleeps. God is the only one truly capable of caring for everyone—and that includes you. Join the Conversation:When was the last time you experienced compassion fatigue? What helped you get through it? Share with us on social media @LifeaudioNetwork or send us an email. Let’s support each other in remembering that it’s okay to step back—and to lean into God’s everlasting care.

In this solo episode, I reveal why a structured Staff Wellbeing Framework is the key to reducing burnout, improving retention and fostering a thriving school culture. Many schools believe they’re supporting staff wellbeing, but without a clear framework, efforts often rely on scattered initiatives like self-care workshops and social events—leaving the deeper causes of stress and burnout unaddressed. It’s time to shift from reactive, one-off solutions to a strategic, lasting approach that truly supports educators. In this episode, I break down: The true purpose of a Staff Wellbeing Framework and how it differs from general wellbeing initiatives The biggest misconceptions about implementing a Staff Wellbeing framework Why a wellbeing framework is essential for schools struggling with burnout, high turnover, cultural issues or major changes How schools with already strong cultures can further enhance their staff wellbeing strategies A step-by-step approach to embedding a Staff Wellbeing Framework that actually works Links and Resources: Join our FREE online training to learn more about the 6-step process for building a Staff Wellbeing Framework that works.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

The post Beyond Compassion Fatigue appeared first on Common Thread Church.

Being a parent or a caregiver can be exhausting. We can become so overwhelmed by the never-ending list of things to do that we lose sight of taking care of ourselves and can experience burnout. Together we will complete a survey of how we are doing with self-care and build a practical plan to help us take better care of ourselves so we can also take care of the important people in our lives and avoid burnout.    Although this session was recorded in December, it is full of great information reminding us compassion fatigue is very real and takes a toll on those who are caregivers.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.morningpersonnewsletter.comThe Sunday Edition is Tuesday's little sister—off-the-cuff updates I'd bring up over a coffee catch-up with a friend.As soon as I hit “publish” on last week's post on being consumed by little to-dos, I noticed a similar sentiment everywhere . We are dying to slow down! (Susie | Talking Since Tuesday) We are tired! (Becca Freeman) We are finished optimizing! (Azora Zoe Paknad) We are over running on this endless treadmill! (sam baker) We're exhausted from an inability to keep up that which, I'm sure many of us felt, was compounded by a broader sense of helplessness this week. The site where I'm doing my clinical internship is a nonprofit funded largely by state grants, but many of our clients depend on federally funded programs to support their medical and housing needs. It's been infuriating to watch some of the world's richest men try to take away these basic rights from those who are most vulnerable, not to mention freeze global aid programs. How do we guard against compassion-fatigue and burnout, while living under an administration that's taking a wrecking ball to humanitarian efforts?? This all brings me to my decision to publish an update on my own home when so many people are at risk of losing theirs.

In this episode (Par1 2), we cover: What compassion fatigue is and why it affects educators The ripple effects of school leaders experiencing compassion fatigue on school culture and staff wellbeing Recognising the early warning signs of compassion fatigue in yourself and others Practical strategies for mitigating compassion fatigue to remain resilient and empathetic Tools and frameworks for building emotional resilience and fostering supportive environments About Nichole: Nichole Williams is the Principal of Lavington East Public School, located on the NSW-VIC border.

Dr. Bass brings over 20 years of experience in general practice, emergency veterinary medicine, and leadership to this conversation, where you'll learn How moral injury manifests in daily practice The importance of differentiating it from burnout and compassion fatigue Why 'client bashing' can be a symptom of moral distress, and Practical steps to create healthier and more supportive veterinary work environments.

Numbers make us numb. But how big does a death count have to get before our eyes glaze over? What's the optimum number of victims to make us care?

Episode Summary: In this episode I chat with Cece Sykes, an IFS lead trainer and author, about an experience many of us share: compassion fatigue and burnout. More than just feeling tired, burnout shows up as depletion of energy, hope, and satisfaction, affecting our internal and external systems. We explore how our protectors keep us going, while our firefighters might lead us to distractions that don't truly nourish us. We also discuss how burnout builds up over time, the role of chronic stress, and why it's so important to listen to the signals our parts are sending.  For a deeper dive on the topic of burnout and compassion fatigue, Cece is teaching a workshop through Life Architect December 5 and 6, 2024 called  An IFS Lens on Therapist Burnout. Key Takeaways: Burnout isn't just about doing too much; it's about the chronic depletion of our internal resources. Protectors often keep us in overdrive, while firefighters offer temporary relief that doesn't actually restore us. How can we better support our parts before they reach the point of burnout? True self-care goes beyond surface-level practices; it's about understanding where our energy is going and making choices aligned with our values. Creating boundaries and allowing ourselves to rest can help break the cycle of overwork and exhaustion. Favorite Quote: "Burnout is depletion—it's the depletion of energy, of hope, of peace of mind, and of satisfaction." – Cece Sykes About Cece Sykes: Cece Sykes, LCSW, is an IFS Senior Trainer, therapist, speaker, and author known for her expertise in working with complex trauma and addiction.
