Emotional burnout management
Hello fellow ND therapists, I am bordering dangerously on bursting at the seams. I could feel it somatic ally this morning and my compassion fatigue meter is increasing exponentially as I see clients throughout the day.
I already limit the number of people I see, and I do have a therapist already. I have a psych appt next week as well so I might be asking for something alongside my ADHD meds to help manage this. Some things I'm doing/will be doing:
-Taking 2 days off next week (after a half day off) because realistically I need a vacation but want it to be away from everyone, including my spouse and pets (which is triggering guilt, too, yay!)
-Going somewhere with nature or the sea, as these things tend to calm me.
What are some of the tools you all employ?
