Ep. 4: The Compassion Fatigue Cycle: The Withdrawal Phase

In this episode, we dive into the withdrawal phase of the compassion fatigue cycle—when emotional numbing, isolation, and detachment begin to take hold. We explore why those in animal care, welfare, and activism start pulling away from loved ones, work, and the causes they care about, and how this phase signals deeper emotional exhaustion. Tune in for insights on recognizing withdrawal patterns, reconnecting with your purpose, and applying practical self-care strategies to rebuild resilience.
