Vicarious Traumatisation and Practitioner Self-Care
Professional self-care is imperative to restore vitality, enthusiasm, and energy. Working with survivors has the potential to shatter assumptions about the world, human nature and the meaning of life and death. It is vital that professionals do not allow this to destroy their own belief system by engaging in activities that help them to sustain their faith in human nature and maintain their zest for life. All in all, like survivors, professionals must make sure they remain connected. Through self-care and preservation of their own well-being professionals can ensure that they remain compassionate and are truly able to accompany the survivor on their journey to recovery and allow for vicarious post traumatic growth and resilience.
