It important to have ways to limit VT for: · Preventing burn out; maximising effectiveness with clients · Stopping our clients (metaphorically) coming home with us · Avoiding losing our sense of agency · Noticing early signs of compassion fatigue · Maintaining the ability to create connection and strong therapeutic alliance · Practicing self-care Recognising VT o Intrusive thoughts o Avoidance o Hypervigilance · Thinking about clients longer than normal, loosening of boundaries · Dissociation during sessions (and other countertransference signals) Limiting VT · Supervision · Maintain boundaries · Practice self-care What if we limit ways of VT… Vicarious traumatic growth, for self and others Vicarious resilience for “enhanced wellbeing” and strategies for supporting others in “coping and protection from future adverse material” Hernandex, Gansel & Engstrom 2007 Contact me on 07966 453387 [email protected] if you have been affected by vicarious trauma.
