Please note, these are some resources that we have found useful. Feel free to incorporate them as you see fit and bring your own experience and understanding to this. Wellness is a personal experience and the tools for that journey are self-defined. Please pick what works for you and leave the rest, while being aware that the tools that work for you may be different for others.

What is burnout?
Burnout is the loss of meaning in your work. It's the complete physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion that stems from prolonged stress. (Burnout Response, 2020; MacKay, 2020)
Something to keep in mind, is that burnout is a cycle, some people will experience only parts of the cycle and some people experience it in full, not everyone will go through all the steps, essentially everyone’s experience is unique!

Compassion Fatigue is a state experienced by those helping people or animals in distress; it is an extreme state of tension and preoccupation with the suffering of those being helped to the degree that it can create a secondary traumatic stress for the helper. Caring too much can hurt. When caregivers focus on others without practicing self-care, destructive behaviors can surface. Apathy, isolation, bottled up emotions and substance abuse head a long list of symptoms associated with Compassion Fatigue.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology, comprising a five-tier model of human needs. Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up. From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
