Organ transplant professionals do more than clinical work. They carry stories, stress, and responsibility that doesn’t end when the shift is over.
Over time, this can look like:
Feeling emotionally drained at work
Carrying stress home at the end of the day
Having hard conversations with families over and over
Supporting others while having little space for yourself
Feeling pressure to always “hold it together”
You care deeply about your patients. CARES Counseling exists to help you care for yourself, too.
The Emotional Weight of Transplant Care Is Real
Organ transplant professionals do more than clinical work. You carry stories, stress, and responsibility that don’t end when the shift is over.
You may find yourself asking:
Do I feel emotionally drained at work or at the end of the day?
Am I carrying stress home instead of leaving it at work?
Am I having the same hard conversations with patients and families over and over?
Am I supporting everyone else while having little space to care for myself?
Do I feel pressure to always “hold it together,” even when it’s heavy?
