What do you think about the possibility that “compassion fatigue “ is an honest assessment of reality. I work(ed) in the arena of homeless services and permanent supportive housing where self sufficiency is voluntary. I’ve seen so many people give up because they’re just waiting for their free apartment and case management services. Why should I bust my butt as a taxpayer to support those folks? What are your thoughts about that?

Reply to comment by UniversityofBath in Hi! I’m Dr Lucy Maddox from Bath University (UK). I’m a clinical psychologist researching compassionate care and things that can get in the way. I have a new book out called A Year To Change Your Mind, about how psychology can help with everyday life by UniversityofBath
