ABSTRACT

Do you give more of yourself than you have to offer? Are you feeling rundown, neglected, or taken for granted? Well, you are not alone, because many officers report feeling this way at some point in their careers. Oftentimes, this give/take relationship feels more like “you give” and “they take,” resulting in hurt feelings and disappointment. The problem with constantly feeling unappreciated and taken for granted is that it can lead to burnout.1
