Grief Counseling Program Video on Caregiver Burnout

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

Whether one cares for a terminally ill family member or cares for others as a healthcare professional, one will eventually feel the strain and stress of burnout.  Individuals who care for a family member feel obligated and feel guilty if they enjoy life outside of caring for the loved one.  They bypass a social life and begin to suffer mentally and sometimes physically as well.  They do not care for their own well being.

Others who work in the field will sometimes take on too many patients or over work to the point of exhaustion.

The reality is that one needs to be mentally and physically fresh to help others.  It is important to stress self care.
