When I speak to professionals who work in grief-heavy careers—healthcare teams, physicians, first responders, oncology nurses, and funeral professionals—here’s what I see again and again:
Compassion fatigue. Emotional overload. Quiet burnout.
They carry the weight of others’ losses and crises, day after day, often without a pause to process their own emotional toll. Over time, it doesn’t just drain their energy—it chips away at their empathy, focus, and ability to stay present for the people they serve.
What most don’t realize is that grief burnout and compassion fatigue aren’t fixed by stepping away — they’re softened by consistent 1% shifts.
My RESET framework helps professionals regulate their nervous system, restore clarity, and rebuild resilience without quitting their job or burning out completely.
RESET is a practical, trauma-informed approach to navigating the emotional demands of grief-heavy roles.
The result? Healthier providers. Stronger, more resilient teams. Lower turnover. Greater presence. And a more compassionate workplace where people can do meaningful work without losing themselves in the process.
