Trauma Therapist Near Me
Is trauma exposure changing you?
The term “vicarious traumatization” arose in the mid-1990’s when Laurie Anne Pearlman and Paula S. Mac Ian studied the effects of working with traumatized clients on therapists.
They defined vicarious traumatization as “a transformation in the helper’s inner experience, as a result of empathetic engagement with traumatized clients and their traumatic experiences, coupled with a commitment or responsibility to help.”
Since then, conversations and awareness around “secondary” or “vicarious” trauma have increased and expanded. Life by Design Therapy's latest blog post by Ashley Gregory LMFT contributes to that conversation & awareness.
