In this episode, the conversation gets candid about the toll this work takes on lawyers themselves. Sara Marler of Marler Law Partners challenges the myth of “compassion fatigue,” explaining that what attorneys are really experiencing is empathetic distress, carrying burdens that aren’t theirs to carry. Brittany Graham offers a reframe that often stops attorneys in their tracks: trauma explains behavior but does not excuse it.
