Look at the suggestions from step one and identify the areas of your own life that need to be strengthened. Next, make sure your own base of care and healthy life practices are in place. Second, it equips you to begin countering these influences before they get “that bad” in your own life. First, it prevents inaccurate interpretations of these experiences (i.e., just a bad day, depressed, spiritual warfare, I’m doing something wrong, etc…). Early detection is important for two reasons. Familiarize yourself with the kind of reactions that frequently emerge when we are exposed to trauma. Start by reviewing the trauma assessment tool in step two.
Because to be exposed to trauma, even the story of trauma, is traumatic, you will face similar challenges as those for which you provide care as a result of caring. While these are still valid points to make, they are not the emphasis of this appendix. Usually this point is made to counter hypocrisy or a sense of superiority. Understanding secondary traumatic stress and countering its influence is an important part of you being a healthy, long-term asset in the life of those who have experienced trauma.īegin with this realization: if you are going to provide care or counsel in the area of trauma, you will need to apply everything in this study in your own life. This appendix is meant to provide guidance for those who would use this material in a counselor, mentor, group leader, or befriending role. But it is something that is not well understood and results in a high rate of burnout amongst those who care for those who have experienced trauma. This is part of the sacrifice of love that is involved in this area of care. Secondary trauma is commonly referred to as “the stress resulting from helping or wanting to help a traumatized or suffering person.” Hearing of the trauma someone you care about experienced can have the effects of trauma in your own life.
