'Emotional labor,' which is the effort we make to control and change our own emotions, is associated with stress, burnout, and even physical symptoms like and increase in cardiovascular disease.”

“Helpers carry a heavy load, they listen, love, cry, and often go into the depths of others’ pain.

They bear this each day.”
