LET’S GROW

In a recent therapy session, we talked about my emotional exhaustion. When my therapist asked for more information, I explained that I am someone people go to when they struggle. With my own struggles ongoing, the weight can become too much.

Knowing I am an empathetic person, he suggested exercising COMPASSION instead of EMPATHY so I wouldn’t absorb so much of what others were going through. 

What is the difference between compassion and empathy?
