Great Article for Actors: Compassion Fatigue

I was just reading this article about compassion fatigue in physicians, and realized how much it applies to actors as well. The process of inhabiting a character and that character's imaginary world in a believable way can be both deeply satisfying and emotionally exhausting.

I found this very helpful, and hope it helps someone else, too!
