A proposito di questo titolo

You are likely good at your job because you care deeply. But is that caring contributing to burnout?

In this episode, we tackle the "Cost of Caring." We explore the crucial difference between Empathy (feeling with someone) and Compassion (feeling for someone).

We break down Affective Empathy ("The Sponge") versus Cognitive Empathy ("The Witness") and explore why joining your client in their emotional storm isn't actually helpful for them and is dangerous for you.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The Research: Why "people-oriented" professionals are prone to empathic distress.

  • The Sponge vs. The Witness: How to stop absorbing experiences like a sponge.

  • The Oak Tree: Why your client needs you to be an anchor.

  • The Tool: The "Screen Door" visualization to protect your energy while remaining connected.
