Help your patients hack their brains
for better health
MODULE 5:
How to move from empathy fatigue to compassionate action (and build resilience.)
Clinicians are taught to be empathetic toward their patients, yet walking in our patients’ shoes can lead to the now well-known phenomenon of empathy fatigue such that we need to keep a professional distance to prevent getting burned out. How can we work with this paradox (which feels more like a catch-22)? This seminar will teach you why empathy fatigue develops, and how to step out of the cycle and into more resilient modes of being with (and being more connected to) individuals who are suffering: compassion.
