Can empathy, the very trait that connects us profoundly to others, actually drain us? Today, I  tackle empathy fatigue, a condition known to sap the energy of those constantly providing emotional support, not just in industries such as healthcare, careworkers, etc.. but in everyday life among friends and family. Recognizing empathy as a muscle that tires with overuse, learn how to identify the signs of fatigue such as feeling overwhelmed, dreading conversations, and irritability. It's crucial to acknowledge these feelings and prioritize self-care without guilt, ensuring a healthy balance between supporting others and nurturing our own well-being.
