Abstract Compassion fatigue is point to that psychological counselors lose their enthusiasm and empathy for the clients, produce the sense of burnout and tiredness in the counseling work. Due to excessive exposure to human suffering, counselors show psychological discomfort, depression and exhaustion, and even secondary trauma, reduce job satisfaction and the ability to help others effectively, they will no longer engage in the psychological counseling industry. The main influencing factors of compassion fatigue are personal trauma history, empathy ability, workload, work experience, age and gender. The preventive factors of compassion fatigue include mindfulness, coping style, spiritual strength and belief, self-care, personal commitment and organizational support. Future research should further carry out the localized study on empathy fatigue of psychological counselors and explore the protective factors of empathy fatigue prevention.
