What is Vicarious Trauma?
Vicarious trauma is the emotional impact of being exposed to the distress of others.
This is common in people who support, care for, or work closely with others in difficult situations.
You might notice
- Emotional exhaustion or burnout
- Feeling overwhelmed by others experiences
- Difficulty switching off from work or responsibilities
- Changes in how you see the world or others
- Reduced capacity to cope over time
Why this happens
Consistent exposure to distress can affect your nervous system, even if the experiences are not your own.
How therapy can help
Therapy provides space to process what you have been carrying and restore a sense of balance and capacity.
If you recognise these symptoms in yourself, you can book a 15-minute introductory chat to discuss how trauma-informed therapy may help. I offer face-to-face sessions in Wheelers Hill and Telehealth across Melbourne.
Saturday appointments available.
