Self Care

Vicarious Trauma Traumatization and negative transformation of inner experience resulting from empathic engagement with the suffering and traumatic experience of others…. can result from discreet events or from cumulative exposure. The term is often used synonymously with ‘Secondary Traumatic Stress or ‘Compassion Fatigue’

Burnout vs Vicarious Trauma Burnout is a response to prolonged exposure to psychologically and emotionally stressful interpersonal situations…characterized by difficulty with empathy (emotional exhaustion), depersonalization, and reduced job satisfaction & reduced personal achievement With Vicarious Trauma, we may still experience empathy, may still love our work, and try to push through…at great personal cost

Why might we be at risk? We empathise with and often ‘absorb’ the suffering & trauma of our clients/patients We hear extremely distressing stories We may participate in seemingly futile and/or traumatic interventions/care We may interact with stressed colleagues, and work in stressed and stressful environments

Mirroring can be helpful, but can also become burdensome “People with a high tendency for empathy will mimic others’ mannerisms, facial expressions, posture (and thus take on emotional responses as well) more than those who test low for empathy.”(Lakin, 2003)Therefore, we “professional empaths” are at risk and must learn how to be self-aware, ‘un-mirror’ regularly, and build resilience.

Catch 22 Our motivation for self care is often at its lowest when we need it the most Importance of looking out for each other/organizational culture
