Vicarious_Trauma_125px_3 Vicarious Traumatization
Presenter: Mickey Stonier Ph.D., CTR, CTSS

Vicarious Traumatization is known to professionals by many names - secondary victimization, secondary traumatic stress disorder and compassion fatigue. It is, simply expressed, a byproduct of care giving. The more intense and personal care given, the more vulnerable the care giver is to Vicarious Traumatization. Professionals who work with severely traumatized individuals are at high risk. This workshop is designed to address the issues involved with vicarious traumatization. It involves hands on solutions which can make a dramatic difference in the professional and private lives of those working with and around trauma. It offers an understanding of how the emotional, psychological, physical, social and spiritual well being of the individual are affected by the work they are doing and provides tools to prevent and treat any negative effects of this critical work.

"WellWriting" is a form of expressive writing or journaling that has been shown to improve health after past stress and trauma.

A workshop to teach this technique to be used as a health tool can be either four, six, or eight hours long. In addition, the workshop can be tailored to the needs of the participants. For instance, it can be used by professionals who work with traumatized clients and patients to prevent or recover from vicarious traumatization that many professionals encounter in their work.
