What do you suggest we do when we start feeling compassion fatigue towards clients? (in the moment)

I've found self compassion works well when I'm feeling compassion fatigue in parenting, as well!

Learning to say no, or not right now, is really important in our world.

I read this a few months ago: "you should never respond with "yes" only "no" or "let me think about it," so you don't overcommit" That's been helpful.

That's great advice, Samantha - thanks for sharing.

Replacing "I'm sorry" with "thank you for___" has been tremendously helpful for me.

Thank you! So much great food for thought and reflection.
