Collectively Unhinged: Therapy Talk

23. Crisis Mode — When Everyone’s Falling Apart (and So Are We)


Listen Later

When the world feels like it’s on fire, how do we keep showing up — as therapists, partners, friends, and humans — without burning out completely? 🔥


In this episode of Collectively Unhinged: Therapy Talk, Courtnie and Melisa unpack what it means to live in constant crisis mode — from compassion fatigue and global trauma to the emotional toll of holding space when you’re barely keeping it together yourself.


They talk about: 

  • The psychological impact of today’s political and cultural chaos
  • Compassion fatigue and why empathy sometimes hurts
  • How global trauma seeps into our personal lives and relationships
  • What real rest, boundaries, and community care actually look like


This one’s for anyone who’s tired of pretending they’re fine while the world feels heavy. Because you’re not the only one falling apart — and you don’t have to carry it alone.


🎧 Listen now and remind yourself: you can care deeply and protect your peace.
