65. Taking a Breath at 50 - A Discussion on Compassion Fatigue

We all know the feeling. It's when we see another post on social media about another owner with another dog in need of training advice, and our out-of-character reaction is to scroll right past it, too exhausted to even start trying to help. We've all been there, especially lately. With the pandemic and subsequent lockdown, we are now constantly inundated with images and stories of people from all walks of life needing our help with something. And while most of us want to help, many of us are struggling with compassion fatigue. In this week's podcast and blog post, LWDG Society Member and Canine Psychologist Tracey Wysoska discusses her own experience with compassion fatigue and offers some tips on how to deal with it.
