Working in a role that requires compassionate responses to anger, frustration, and other intense emotions can be challenging. Interacting with person after person, often feeling like you can't help enough, may lead to a sense of exhaustion or even a desire to stop caring. Compassion fatigue can affect both professional and personal lives, as well as broader feelings about society.
