Navigate the risk of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue, and learn how you can stay safe through various techniques.

Any professional who works with trauma is potentially at risk of burnout, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. Trauma can have a huge impact on our nervous system. And as a result, we may struggle with flashbacks, nightmares, feeling exhausted, shut down, or simply feeling unhappy.

In this webinar, we will explore the potential impact of the work on you and what risk indicators related to it might look like.

We will also look at several keys as to how you can increase your emotional safety and protect yourself better from vicarious trauma, burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary traumatic stress:

• Self-awareness
• Safety Techniques
• Training
• Managing your empathy
• Don’t visualise trauma

Who is this webinar for:

The webinar is suitable for both students and qualified counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, psychologists, support workers, GPs, psychiatrists, hypnotherapists, as well as any other mental health professional who works with trauma or wants to work with traumatised clients.
