Strategies for Avoiding
Vicarious Traumatization
Harrison and Westwood (2009) found nine preventative practices:
Countering isolation (in professional, personal, and spiritual realms)
Developing mindful self-awareness
Consciously expanding perspective to embrace complexity
Active optimism
Holistic self-care
Maintaining clear boundaries
Exquisite empathy
Professional satisfaction
Creating meaning (p. 203)
*
When Human Resource workers “maintain clarity about interpersonal boundaries, when they are able to get very close without fusing or confusing the client’s story, experiences, and perspective with their own, this exquisite kind of empathic attunement is nourishing for the worker and client alike. . . . Thus the ability to establish a deep, intimate, therapeutic alliance based upon presence, heartfelt concern, and love is an important aspect of well-being” (Harrison & Westwood, 2009, p. 213).
