Title: Stresul traumatic secundar
Description: Se pare că specialiștii care lucrează cu persoanele traumatizate pot fi afectați de relatările și experiențele acestora într-un mod în care să le fie amenințate atât activitatea profesională, cât și calitatea vieții personale. Astfel, au fost studiate concepte precum stresul traumatic secundar, trauma vicariantă, sindromul de burnout și sindromul de oboseală a compasiunii.

Stresul traumatic secundar reprezintă un set de simptome care pot apărea ca urmare a expunerii traumatice indirecte, simptomele fiind similare cu cele ale persoanelor care au experimentat un eveniment traumatic (de exemplu: evitare, gânduri intruzive, stare de alertă etc).

In recent years, much research has been done on the specific symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Recently, some researchers have begun to investigate how the experiences and stories of people suffering from post-traumatic stress affect their partners and children, their friends and caregivers (therapists, doctors, social workers, etc.). It seems that specialists who work with traumatized people can be affected by their stories and experiences in a way that threatens both their professional activity and their quality of personal life. Thus, concepts such as secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, burnout syndrome and compassionate fatigue syndrome were studied.Secondary traumatic stress is a set of symptoms that may occur as a result of indirect traumatic exposure, the symptoms being similar to those of people who have experienced a traumatic event (for example: avoidance, intrusive thoughts, alertness, etc.).
