As a clinical psychologist, Kim has helped many folks struggling through trauma. And as an animal advocate, Jan has helped many traumatized dogs. We’ve surely butted our heads and hearts against the hard edge of compassion fatigue, the feeling that we simply cannot take any more of the pain and suffering of the world. With all of the situations in the world today, it is understandable that many of us are familiar with compassion fatigue. What do we do with that feeling? How do we cope when we feel hopeless? For us, it started with making a choice to do something…but with so much need out there, how to choose? We will share how we found a way to bring together our areas of interest by helping both the human and animal survivors of domestic violence.
