Listen "Coming to Terms: Secondary Trauma"
Episode Synopsis
Coming to Terms are shorter bonus episodes to help define and demystify the unique language of the behavior space. In this episode, Torri covers Secondary Trauma; a trauma where another person who witnesses or supports traumatic situations, ends up experiencing trauma of their own. As parents, care providers, or even professionals, we often fail to recognize the long-term effects traumatic situations can pose on our own health and regulation. Prolonged exposure to traumatic situations can cause chronic stress, anxiety, fatigue, and depression, impacting our health and well-being.
