Chronic and toxic stress alters the brain, making it more likely to develop Cost of Caring conditions such as secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, or compassion fatigue.
You give so much to others -- supporting, encouraging, and guiding those with their own toxic stress and trauma. But the cost of caring takes a toll on your own wellness.
Your required work violates your values and beliefs. System constraints and obstacles prevent you from doing the right thing, and your ideas are unwelcomed and dismissed.
Your work life seems out of control and your stress response surfaces as anger. You feel pessimistic and cynical, untrusting of people and systems. A sense of hopelessness corrodes your life purpose.

A helper is a professional, volunteer, or loved one who provides empathic care for trauma survivors. Some common helper roles include therapists and counselors, teachers and child care workers, health care workers, first responders, animal care workers, clergy, criminal justice workers, and military personnel.
Over time, repeated activation of the stress response takes a toll on you. You're fatigued, overwhelmed, or angry. Your frustration with the realities of your job has grown into resentment, and you're overcome by a sense of professional hopelessness.
You're tired of being a martyr for your job. You recognize that you deserve the same care that you provide for others, and you need help making a plan to address your multi-dimensional wellness.
You realize something has to change, but you're not sure what else you can do. You need help figuring out your next steps.
Hi, I'm Laura. My sister Jean and I have been helpers, collectively, for over 30 years and we understand the Cost of Caring quite intimately.
Jean is a Licensed Professional Counselor with her master's in mental health counseling. And for over a decade now, she's been involved with mental health and addiction counseling. She is a Master CASAC, which is a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor. She also holds additional certifications in trauma, grief, and DBT. Currently, Jean is the clinical director of outpatient services for addiction treatment and behavioral health.
I was a public school teacher for almost 20 years, serving my last 8 years in a large Title I elementary school with a very high percentage of students living in poverty.
We have both served high-needs populations in roles that require significant empathy. The Cost of Caring recently became so great for me that I left teaching, but it was only after I quit teaching that I really learned about the Cost of Caring. As I researched compassion fatigue, moral suffering, and vicarious trauma, my feelings immediately made sense. I knew then that I wanted to share this information and help other helpers escape the toxic stress.
We're excited to help you manage the heavy costs of serving as a helper. And, if you decide you need to leave a toxic job, we'll help you design a new path forward.
