They emphasize that when people sacrifice their well‑being for others, they may not realize the harm they are causing themselves. The speaker likens mental injury to a physical wound that may require bandages, doctor visits, and a longer healing period, urging listeners to recognize the need for proper care and recovery when mental burnout occurs.

You might have pulled something. You might have broke something, you know what I'm saying? So the healing process could take a little longer.
