In this episode of "Help Me, Rhonda!," clinical psychologist Dr. Rhonda differentiates empathy from compassion and describes some of the pitfalls of empathy, including burnout, especially for those who work in the helping professions. Dr. Karg refers listeners to "Against Empathy" by Paul Bloom for an in-depth exploration of the research and how to practice from a place of compassion to prevent stress and burnout.
