The Brain in Crisis and Chronic Stress by Michelle Castle
Stress is a normal reaction to an abnormal event and can cause physical, spiritual, cognitive and emotional stress that leads to compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. Chronic stress that is not resolved, and especially when it involves moral stress or injury, eventually will lead to burnout. Remember: Social support is needed to combat stress.

The Healer Archetype by Michelle Castle
To heal means to make whole, to alleviate, and to repair. A Healer works on behalf of others and delivers the gift of health. A Healer can be one who mends broken spirits, minds, bodies, and/or hearts. The Healer is one who is willing to sit with pain, be with pain, work with, understand and touch pain without being undone by it.
