Dr. Russ Irwin on Compassion Fatigue: The Hidden Crisis Destroying Healthcare

Most healthcare professionals think they're experiencing burnout. They're wrong.

What they're actually facing is compassion fatigue. It’s reaching epidemic proportions and taking out healthcare workers at an alarming pace.

In this critical conversation, Dr. Russ Irwin, a clinical psychologist and neuroscience expert, exposes the devastating difference between burnout and compassion fatigue.

Frank also opens up about his own experience with compassion fatigue. How his lack of boundaries in an attempt to overdeliver with patients ultimately led to him being a less effective clinician. And his desperate attempts to escape healthcare through four different businesses before starting his clinics in 2015.

Inside you'll learn:

• The neurological difference between burnout and compassion fatigue
• How to know if your career has become toxic to your identity
• The 5-step recovery framework that addresses the root cause
• Why changing jobs won't solve compassion fatigue (but might solve burnout)

Dr. Russ provides the diagnostic clarity and actionable framework that could save careers and lives.

If you've ever felt emotionally depleted beyond normal exhaustion, this episode might be your turning point.
