Education and counselling settings are changing. There is stress on many levels with increasing complex families and children, with fewer services, financial restraints, and extra administrative duties. Educators and counsellors often feel tension and pressure from many sources. When we care too much we tend to forget about our own needs. Stress behaviours and illness can surface when caregivers neglect their self-care practices. Apathy, isolation, pushed down emotions, overeating, alcohol abuse, and family breakdown head a long list of symptoms associated with the workplace secondary toxic stress we now call – Compassion Fatigue.
