A comprehensive approach to Secondary Trauma and Compassion Fatigue:
The healers need healing. Exposure to the traumas of those you serve, multiplied case after case, has the likely effect of traumatizing care-providers.

Without a healing response, the outcome is frequently Compassion Fatigue and abandonment of careers. These are not problems which overtake less competent care providers. It is, ironically, those with the greatest capacity for feeling and expressing empathy who are most at risk for secondary trauma.
