Using the Matrix
Practicing Compassionate Badassery is all about making intentional choices as a helping professional, so that you can keep making an impact AND enjoy your life.
At one time or another we all make choices (or find ourselves in systems) that move us away from Compassionate Badassery and towards compassion fatigue, indifference, and burnout.
Our choices and experiences are shaped by our individual and collective past histories, perspectives and beliefs, and present circumstances. Each quadrant is a way of understanding where these choices can lead us. Use the matrix as a guide to help orient yourself towards a more sustainable, ethical, effective approach to helping. This may include critically examining the organizations, cultures, and systems you work within.
Please remember that this is not a personality test or a way to label yourself or others. The matrix is a map, not your destination.
