Course Description

Vicarious trauma is also referred to as compassion fatigue or secondary traumatization (Figley, 1995). When working with clients suffering trauma, we can feel an emotional residue, stress and/or weariness and lose our zest for life. Why does it happen?  As empathetic professionals,how do we protect ourselves from vicarious trauma, or minimise its effects?
