Someone I Love Is In Crisis

from Everyday Therapy · host Brett Cushing, Christa Overson

This week, Marriage and Family Therapists Brett Cushing and Christa Overson look into the topic of compassion fatigue, also known as secondary trauma. Anyone can experience this, not just people who help for a living. Most commonly, this can happen when someone you love goes through a personal crisis (divorce, disaster, medical issue, or grief). How do we respond when we have no idea what to say or how to help, and how do we protect ourselves from becoming depleted? Do you have feedback or topic requests?

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
