Anyone working with people affected by trauma or with traumatic material can benefit for understanding more about Vicarious trauma, how to recognise the risks early and manage them.
Vicarious trauma is not a sign of weakness. It is the cost of working with people who have experienced trauma and abuse – of bearing witness and of empathic engagement with those affected. It is important to differentiate vicarious trauma from compassion fatigue and burnout, with which it is often confused, and yet commonly co-exists. While the phenomenon of vicarious trauma is widely acknowledged, it can be challenging to recogniseand deal with it. Its dynamics and `ripple effects’ are complex, pervasive and damaging.
