Contact me if you’d like to learn more about what secondary traumatic stress is and why it is often mistaken for burnout; the hidden signs educators often miss in themselves; what happens in the brain and body when caring becomes chronic emotional overload; how the RESET Framework helps educators recover, regulate, and remain effective; and/or what schools and districts can do to create systems that protect staff, not just students. Let me know in the comments.
The problem isn’t that educators don’t care enough. The problem is that we have not built systems to protect the people doing the caring.
