Essential Pieces for Professionals
Secondary Traumatic Stress Prevention Sessions for Professionals
Exposure to the traumatic experiences of others can lead to secondary traumatization or secondary traumatic stress (STS). This condition occurs as a result of helping or wanting to help traumatized individuals (Figley, 1988). You have a responsibility to maintain your mental well-being if you’ve worked with hospital patients, children or youth in a school setting, plaintiffs or defendants in court, individuals involved in critical incidents, or victims or perpetrators of violence.
We know you love your profession. But do you love it enough to take the stressors related to it home with you? Are you willing to internalize stress at the expense of your physiological health? Is it vital to better understand how your body processes stress in response to your job? Are you ready to learn new proactive skills to handle your stress reactions and set work-life balance boundaries? Then, please don’t hesitate to sign up for the professional self-care program that best meets your needs.
Whether you are an attorney, teacher, healthcare worker, first responder, or other stressed professional, do your due diligence to prevent burnout and create the mental capacity to live your life to the fullest after ending your workday.
