We provide relief, recovery and ongoing protection for professionals who directly witness trauma- and experience indirect trauma.

 

Indirect trauma (also known as vicarious trauma) can occur when engaging emotionally with traumatised individuals and/or case material. This can lead to individuals knowingly or not, drained emotionally, energetically which negates mental and physical health and interactions with service users; through to feeling emotionally burdened or overwhelmed.

 

Both types of trauma exposure impact physical and mental health, performance and motivation- despite the desire to help.
Our specialist interest.

Role of a) identity and b) practical philosophy to:

  • Aid recovery and protect from trauma.
  • Aid performance under pressure.
  • Strengthens mental health and character.
This involves a clarity of identity based on factors that remain constant and separate irrespective of outcomes which are perceived as failure, bad through to success. Together with skills to ‘connect’ to this identity establishes an safe, secure, solid foundation of self as part of preparation, performance and recovery from events.

 

When personal identity is based on outcomes that are not in your control, then if the outcome ‘fails’ in some way, your sense of self can implode. For example,  this can occur when someone loses a cherished job that was perceived as everything to them- and who they were. Our approach is proving to be helpful for both recovering from, and lessening the impact of, serious confidence knocks and trauma.

 

In addition, a developed framework around practical ethics and philosophy for navigating life helps individuals to make sense of experiences, find practical wisdom from events; as well as challenge accepted truths that dictate how we feel about ourselves. Overall, this contributes to building and maintaining a healthier, realistic and life affirming perspective, expectations and boundaries- helping strengthen mentally and practically.
