Professional Development Focus
Interpreting requires constant cognitive effort and emotional presence. Over time, even skilled professionals can find themselves drained, detached, or overwhelmed. Burnout doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means your system has been overloaded.This 5-hour live online workshop explores what burnout really looks like in the interpreting profession, how it differs from fatigue and compassion fatigue, and how interpreters can use frameworks like the Demand-Control Schema (DC-S) to regain control and rebuild resilience.Professional Development Focus
