I like the idea of breaking this down into multiple parts because I think compassion fatigue can be really different for different career paths. For instance I may have less compassion fatigue than let's say a counselor at my school but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist for me. Based on my scores I gain a lot of satisfaction from my job, I believe that helping people is important, I am happy that I am able to help people, but in the same breath my burnout score was high as well. Clearly the act of doing all of that helping does have a never ending effect on the brain and can sometimes feel futile, which is where that score comes in.
