When you start to feel compassion fatigue, one should take a step aside to recuperate. It would be recommended to speak to a peer or your support system about your emotions and struggles. It is necessary to take breaks or rest to avoid burnout or compassion fatigue.

I would communicate with staff or friends, to try to let it out, and try to keep myself busy doing things that would disconnect me from those thoughts and feelings. If none of those options were affective, I would try some psychological help to help me deal with those situations in a better way.

MemberAugust 28, 2023 at 5:21 pmI feel the need to breath deep, and step away for a few minutes, if someone else can step in. If i am with the children i involve them in breathing exercises or yoga stretches or getting wiggles out or dance party.

MemberAugust 29, 2023 at 5:25 pmAs an early childhood learning provider, What do you do when you start feeling compassion fatigue?
I would take a step back and reflect on why I chose their career and past memories that truly made me love my job. Also communicating with others and doing some self care to heal myself and to prevent a burn out.
