Interpreting is intense—mentally, emotionally, and sometimes even physically. You're not just translating words; you're helping people navigate life-defining moments. From medical emergencies to asylum interviews, court cases to social services, interpreters often find themselves holding space for others while carrying invisible weight themselves.

Holding space for others only works if you're also making space for yourself.

Whether you’re working on-site or remotely, as a freelancer or staff interpreter, burnout can sneak in. Fatigue, emotional overload, or even the pressure to “always be available” can chip away at your well-being. And yet, in this profession, many still push through quietly—until they can’t.
