Helpers need helpers
We should also recognize that our strength has its limits. There may come a time when we may feel overwhelmed by the misery around us. At that point, we need to restore ourselves by having relationships that nurture us. Every helper needs a helper. If we are working with other helpers in an organization or agency, we should do so as a team in which each member is vigilant to the needs of other helpers.
If we don’t have the support of colleagues, we should reach out to a friend or family member to be our compassionate listeners. |
