Is this Secondary Trauma?
Many of us feel exhausted and depleted from carrying so much stress, pain and challenge these past months. Here is personal look at what secondary trauma and compassion fatigue look like.
Finding Happiness in the Post-shutdown Months Ahead
Here we are at another big transition. Many of us are starting to peek outside our Covid-related rabbit holes, only to find the light is rather blinding out there! How do we begin to step into happiness again?
" . . . acting unhappy is a great way to actually become dissatisfied with life. By saying you’re unhappy, you can talk yourself out of joy and right into gloom, which won’t do anything to ease others’ suffering. What will help is striving to achieve and project happiness even while showing your concerns about wrongs to be righted in the world. In fact, your happiness will make you more effective in making the world a better place."
