After years of navigating the exhausting terrain of secondary trauma as an educator, I've embarked on a mission to shed light on this invisible burden. In this episode of "Taught," I'm joined by Melissa Anthony, a licensed counselor and trauma expert, who generously shares her wisdom on how compassion fatigue lurks in the lives of teachers everywhere. We comb through the tangled emotional landscape educators face, revealing how trauma ripples through classrooms in ways often unseen but deeply felt.
