Do you suffer from vicarious trauma?
Do you know what it is and how it can effect you?
If you do have vicarious trauma, what can you do about it?

Vicarious trauma can be  a serious issue for people who's job it is work with people who have been traumatised. 
It is also an issue for people who witness trauma happening to other people.
Certain professions are more prone to this than others, but vicarious trauma is something that can happen to anyone of us, especially with the images and stories that we consume in the news. 

In this episode I discuss what vicarious trauma is and why some people have an issue with it.
I talk about how to recognise vicarious trauma and what you can do to manage it. 
As ever, this podcast is about hope and I provide advice and support for people who have an issue with vicarious trauma and how they can cope with it.
