Vicarious Traumatization, Compassion Fatigue and Burnout: Th

Post by Adun »

Article by Holly N. O'Reilly, Ph.D., March 12, 2018

Are you feeling disconnected from those you care about?
Wondering who is trustworthy? Or just feeling unsafe?

Any of these symptoms could be indicative of vicarious traumatization (VT), which may be easily confused with compassion fatigue or professional burnout. Some clinicians who work with traumatized populations (including those with posttraumatic stress disorder and/or depression) may experience VT, and this may be particularly true for clinicians working with military members. Despite significant experience providing clinical care, many clinicians could benefit from a refresher of information on this important topic and a few suggestions to help prevent it.
