The Excessively Human Experience
There are moments when those who care for others no longer recognise themselves in the way they do their work, their duty. These are not dramatic crises, but subtle signs: rushed responses, unexpected irritation, the feeling that they are no longer fully listening, even when everything seems to be being done «as it should be».
This book starts with these signs — small, repeated, and frequently ignored — and takes them seriously. It explores the cumulative impact of exhaustion, pressure, and expectations, showing how they silently shape the judgement of those who care. The author, Dr Joana Mendes Pereira, writes from this intersection of clinical practice and rigorous reflection.
Without moralising or offering simplistic solutions, A Experiência Demasiado Humana provides practical tools in precise language, so that the reader can understand what they feel, break inappropriate automatic habits, and rediscover the meaning of caring for someone in a humane way.
What happens to those who care for others when no one is watching?
