3. How to manage vicarious trauma as a SEND practitioner with Dr Asha Patel


Listen Later

Vicarious trauma is sometimes referred to as secondary trauma and it is understood to be the emotional residue felt from forming empathic relationships. Working in SEND can mean being exposed to high levels of trauma and in this episode, Dr Asha Patel talks to India about how the cost of caring can be managed.

Asha's main takeaways from this episode are...

1.  No one is immune to vicarious trauma
2. It is a bodily based response so we should not ignore physical signs of vicarious trauma
3. Settings can embed practices within the school to minimise the impact it has on staff
