Transforming Vicarious Trauma

Transforming Vicarious Trauma

If you experience periods of burnout and stress as a therapist, you're not alone. We're here to help. This course will teach you immediately applicable ways to heal vicarious trauma exposure.

In each of the 10 episodes of 10-15 minutes, we (Carryn Lund, LMSW, RYT & Sharon Gold-Steinberg, PhD) explore an aspect of vicarious trauma and offer both education and guided practice for psychotherapists, healthcare workers, teachers and others who witness human suffering and trauma in their role as helping professionals. As psychotherapists ourselves, we ensure that every single episode provides insight that draws on the current literature on vicarious trauma and emphasizes practice - through guided meditation, reflection questions, and suggestions for adaptations in everyday work. Our aim is to affirm and nurture our colleagues so together we can sustain meaningful work in times of unprecedented challenge.

What you'll get:

• 10 affirming, insightful, and visually appealing videos (10-20 minutes each)
• Immediately applicable strategies to minimize burn-out and secondary traumatic stress
• Meditations and guided self-reflection exercises to deepen awareness and self-compassion
• Downloadable hand-outs to personalize your learning and to reference key points and resources
• Access to the insights, meditations, and guidance of the individual episodes any time needed!

"The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss daily and not be touched by it is as unrealistic as expecting to b able to walk through water without getting wet."
