Crisis and trauma-focused work can be deeply meaningful—but emotionally exhausting. If you’ve noticed yourself feeling numb, pulling back from clients, or struggling to connect the way you once did, you’re not alone. This experience, known as compassion fatigue, is common in direct patient care when emotional demands outweigh opportunities for self-care.

At Healing Voices Psychotherapy, DBT therapy offers practical tools to help you balance acceptance of emotional depletion while gradually rebuilding empathy, resilience, and sustainable self-care—so you can continue showing up for others without losing yourself in the process.

Burnout isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a lived reality for many people facing constant pressure to stay productive and available. While basic self-care can help, it often doesn’t address the emotional patterns that fuel long-term exhaustion. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), particularly its emotion regulation skills, offers deeper tools for understanding and managing stress. Originally developed for intense emotional challenges, DBT’s strategies are now widely used to help people recognize, respond to, and regulate emotions in healthier ways—making it especially effective in preventing burnout.
