Vicarious Trauma Institute

Vicarious Trauma is a silent thief that has the potential to rob the
caring listener of their health and well-being.

Vicarious Trauma...it sounds like something you would like to run from, doesn't it? In reality, you may have run toward it by choosing to help others, either in your professional or your personal life - most likely in both. When you listen to and absorb the traumatic experiences of your patients, clients, or friends, it becomes a trauma that weighs on you as well. At the Vicarious Trauma institute, we call it second-hand shock™, and our professionals can help you to debrief, reconnect, and find relief.
