CW: CW compassion fatigue
This episode really kicked me in the feels and then left me with a lot to think about.
I worked in animal care as a pet sitter and a vet tech and I'm familiar with compassion fatigue. My first job out of school was at an animal shelter and I walked into a situation where all the veterinary staff was totally burnt out and in the process of quitting. I looked at the outgoing lead tech and knew that would be me in a couple of years if I stayed. But I loved that job. But it really did take as much as you were willing to give it, and then some. A move to New Zealand the following year removed that conundrum for me.
I wonder if this is why I never got a pet while I was in the pet care industry.
I wonder how compassion fatigue interacts with autistic burnout.
I wonder if there's parallels to be made with the kind of burn out parents experience when they don't get the support they need.
Link is to a podcast called Proxy, an episode called "Jane doesn't like her dogs"
CW for the episode: animal death and suicidal ideation (brief mention)

The Strong Must Heal, Too
The conversation around emotional healing is crucial, especially for DVMs and those in helping roles.Compassion fatigue is not burnout; it is a system crash. We expect endless empathy from vets and techs, forgetting they are also carrying our pain. This is a massive failure of Emotional Hygiene.
I wrote a long-form article addressing this crisis. I share my personal story, the systemic roots of DVM burnout, and why we must move from expecting compassion to actively protecting it.

In einer Welt, die von Informationsflut und ständiger Reizüberflutung geprägt ist, sehnen sich viele Menschen nach einfachen Antworten und klaren Strukturen. Dieses Bedürfnis nach kognitiver Geschlossenheit, im Englischen “Need for Cognitive Closure” (NFC) genannt, spielt eine entscheidende Rolle dabei, wie wir Informationen verarbeiten und Entscheidungen treffen. Und genau hier setzt die […]

While you are out there worried about anarchists, here's what your fucked up system is doing. Imagine asking for the state to snatch more kids:
❝
Every three days, a child who has been involved with Ontario’s care system dies.That’s according to provincial data obtained by Global News using freedom of information laws that tracked the deaths of 354 children between 2020 and 2022 who were under the care of the government in some form.
❞A third of those deaths were listed as having "cause unknown".

So in my timeline today we have the makings of potential #CompassionFatigue and people who apparently would prefer to deal with grumpy attitudes rather than niceness or something. Alright I think I'm following along. Not sure if I should go back to finishing my work for the day or go and sit outside and enjoy the breeze.

I highly recommend all of Martha's groups, and this one strikes me as especially significant, as I hear the stories of therapist and coach burnout lately ...

I am not expecting the world to curate my content for me. I can and do filter lots of things. However, I cannot write a filter that will prevent me from being haunted for days by really well worded emotionally distressing factual content on which I cannot take action. It happens over and over here. I tried to summarize the examples that have crossed my feed just this week and just decided not to. Yes, it would have been viscerally demonstrative but also you don't need that in your head. And really, what exactly do we think we're doing here when we write or boost emotive content that provokes distress you can't relieve? Who is this communication helping? Who is this hurting? I have few followers and a small voice , but hear me, people #compassionfatigue is real and it fosters immobility and despair. Telling people to #filter for what bothers them is insufficient. We all need to personally and individually consider not just whether we found something we saw meaningful but whether it serves an empowering agenda or drags people down into the mire overwhelmed by feelings. While yes, someone might flood the world with this kind of content to try and foster political or social inaction on a large scale, no one I follow is likely posting or boosting these kinds of sad facts about human behavior and its consequences with that sort of agenda. I do seriously wonder what the hell they think they're doing, though.

#CompassionFatigue is also a thing in animal rescue.

I don't know who else needs to see/hear this today, but I might as well put it out there...
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/compassion-fatigue
#CompassionFatigue is a real phenomenon, and #PsychicNumbing is what helps us get on with our own lives instead of falling into despair.
"... “psychic numbing”—the ability to dial down one’s empathetic instincts while on the job, freeing up cognitive resources to find solutions to the problems in front of them rather than becoming paralyzed by the scope of need they see."
Remember that you're important too, and that whatever's not in your control is not in your control. You can do little things to help here and there, but ultimately you have to put on your own oxygen mask before you help anyone else with theirs, because if you don't, then you won't be able to help anyone else with theirs.

@pathfinder This is more directly related to folks with AuDHD - we will literally risk our personal safety & social reputations - if we truly feel they need to be sacrificed for justice & greater good. This is how almost every single AuDHD person I've ever met feels about injustice.

#CompassionFatigue is very real & it's another reason why #SelfCare matters. It's high in both #caregivers & #activism & many #health #medical related #FrontlineWorkers fields. We all need safe places to vent & also personal respite time. Sometimes self care is doing nothing but sleep or lie down. We need to be able to self monitor ourselves & reach out for more help & support when needed. It's hard to do that if you're not used to asking for help but we all need extra help sometimes ❤❤

Ein Jahr Krieg in der Ukraine, furchtbare Erdbeben in der Türkei und in Syrien. Die schrecklichen Bilder verfolgen uns. Irgendwann ertragen viele nicht noch mehr Katastrophenberichte. Sie stumpfen ab.

What I Write: “organizations have a responsibility to interrogate the continuance of aggressive behaviors, moral distress, compassion fatigue and burnout in nursing.”
What Editors Change it to: “Nurses are resilient, with remarkable ability to adapt to any situation and take control of their own self care.”
