Certified Compassion Fatigue Trauma Specialist
Session Title
Compassion Fatigue: Impacts on the Mind, Body, and Spirit
Description
In this session, we’ll explore what compassion fatigue really is and why it affects so many caring, capable women. We’ll unpack both the professional and personal risk factors, identify early warning signs, and understand how toxic stress quietly builds in the body. You’ll also get a clear visual of how stress hormones travel from the brain through the body—and, most importantly, learn practical ways to decompress, calm the nervous system, and gently restore balance to the body-mind connection.
