Trauma Awareness Workshop 4 - Understanding Vicarious Trauma and How to Manage It.

Working in a ‘help’ profession can be incredibly rewarding. You get the chance to make a real difference in people’s lives by offering support and guidance through difficult times.
However, constant exposure to trauma can take its toll. This is where vicarious trauma comes in.

What is Vicarious Trauma?
Vicarious trauma, sometimes called compassion fatigue, is a psychological response that occurs when someone is
repeatedly exposed to the traumatic experiences of others. It’s like second-hand emotional pain. While not the same as Post-
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) experienced by someone who directly experiences trauma, it shares some similar symptoms.
