Have you ever experienced stress after witnessing traumatic events outside of yourself? Those who work in the healthcare and maternity sectors, experience this...often on a daily basis. How does this affect those individuals personally and then in turn, the quality of care given and received in these sectors as a direct or indirect result?
Does this matter? Well I think it matters greatly. After working across these sectors for 40 years in total, I wondered why my anxiety levels were increasing as I was driving to work each shift. I didn't realise the cumulative effect it had on me until I left...and then I was able to see it clearly and understand what had been the cause of my stress and anxiety!
It has taken me 3 years of deep soul searching to heal the trauma that I carried from everything I had witnessed over my career. New things kept emerging just when I thought it was done! Like peeling the layers of the onion back. I now feel like a completely different person...back to my old, relaxed self, not living on adrenalin waiting for the next emergency to happen!
In this episode we discuss what is known as 'Vicarious Trauma'. We will be discussing: 1. What is Vicarious trauma?
2. How to recognise the signs
3. What can you do about it?
