Compassion Fatigue

If you are exhausted, overwhelmed, or shaken by having witnessed more than you can hold all at once, you may be experiencing vicarious trauma. You, too, deserve respite and sanctuary. We can find, together, rootedness even in the midst of the storm. I offer supervision, consultation, and psychotherapy for helping professionals, including healers, mental health and medical professionals, spiritual leaders, caregivers, and community organizers.

Katherina brings to mental health, teachers, and healthcare providers tools and knowledge to maximize staying power in the helping profession.

We learn compassion fatigue is normal; we can heal with support, knowledge, and a self-compassion plan. https://compassionfatigueworkshop.square.site/

I work with those in helping/healing professions to address the unique demands of this work.

Are you exhausted? Running on empty? Too busy taking care of others to make time for yourself? I'm your person! I gave away all of my energies to others and left nothing for me at the end of the day.

I'm no longer afraid to say "no", I have clearly defined boundaries, and more energy and time for my family - and for ME! Self care is NOT selfish!
