Empathy Strain and Burnout
Empathy, an appreciation for the feelings and emotions of others, involves a
certain amount of cognitive and emotional effort. Empathy strain refers to a
healthcare provider’s overextension of psychological resources, contributing to
burnout and, for some, even causing emotional pain (Weiner & Auster 2007).
Burnout describes the physical and emotional exhaustion that MTs can
experience when they have low job satisfaction or feel overwhelmed by their
work or workload.
There are a few guiding principles to gauge empathy strain and investigate if you
are feeling burnout (Khalsa 2008):
• Are you a caregiver or caretaker? Caregiving (what is provided by a healthcare
professional) is the giving of treatment and aid to a client with no obligation to
produce certain results. Caretaking (or taking over care of a person who
cannot provide for himself or herself) often derives from the therapist’s need
to be needed and is a fast road to burnout.
• Changes in eating or sleeping patterns (over-or undereating, difficulty sleeping,
over sleeping or no motivation to get up in the morning)
• Feelings of depression and helplessness
• Ongoing and persistent fatigue
• Withdrawal from social contacts or activities (e.g. regular exercise).
If you recognize any of the above symptoms, take action to get your life back on
the path to balance. Find the one thing you enjoyed doing and begin again. Build
the time into your schedule for you. And when necessary, seek professional
assistance. There is no shame in asking for help; our profession asks much of us.
Just Say NO
Providing care for our clients is an important responsibility; however, when your
appointment book is filled with the maximum amount of clients you can
physically and mentally handle, trying to squeeze in one more may tip the
balance. Saying no for some may not be easy but sometimes No is the
