“…Of the drawbacks, VT seems of significant concern, considering the effects on the individual counsellor. The negative effects of VT appear to be, at least in part, related to counsellors' empathic engagement with clients, a behaviour that is regarded as both the vehicle for positive change and also the catalyst for harm for both counsellor and client (Pearlman & Caringi, 2009;McCann & Pearlman, 1990a;Pearlman & Saakvitne, 1995). Additionally, counsellors need to be mindful of their current life stressors such as their caseload and their personal history that may include their own trauma history and attachment style.…”

“…Although debate continues concerning the validity of the VT construct and its separateness from other similar concepts, there is some agreement that counselling trauma victims can negatively affect counsellors (Bride, 2004;McCann & Pearlman, 1990;Neumann & Gamble, 1995;Pearlman & Caringi, 2009;Pearlman & Saakvitne, 1995) and that this is similar for Australian counsellors (Dunkley & Whelan, 2006a;Iliffe & Steed, 2000;Steed & Bicknell, 2001;Steed & Downing, 1998). Negative counsellor functioning can range from distancing themselves from clients through to over-involved, intrusive client work (Astin, 1997;Gabriel, 1994;Neumann & Gamble, 1995) and feelings of being compromised due to the lack of non-verbal cues they receive in the digital environment (Bambling et al, 2008;Coman et al, 2001;.…”

“…While empathic engagement is a necessary component of effective trauma counselling, counsellor traits of commitment and responsibility require close attention to ensure healthy boundaries are maintained in the working relationship (Astin, 1997;Hesse, 2002;McCann & Pearlman, 1990;Neumann & Gamble, 1995). Interestingly, there is some evidence to suggest that while unprocessed counsellor response to empathic engagement can result in VT when there is adequate, early intervention, positive growth can occur for both client and counsellor, (Pearlman & Caringi, 2009;Pearlman & Saakvitne, 1995).…”

“…Possible causes of VT can be grouped as (1) aspects of the work (e.g., caseload, experience with the work) and (2) aspects of the counsellor (e.g., personal trauma history, attachment style, coping style and current life stressors; Pearlman & Caringi, 2009). Due to the potential of the many elements of each of these aspects to interact with each other in a variety of ways, a plethora of possible outcomes may be related to the development of VT, and conflicting outcomes are often found when individual factors are studied.…”

Literature with a focus on telephone and online counselling is reviewed as this form of counselling is becoming increasingly popular in Australia. The relevance and drawbacks of counselling in these two digital environments are detailed. Of the drawbacks, vicarious traumatisation (VT) is given a particular focus as its effects on counsellor functioning are seen to be profound. Possible causes of VT are outlined in light of the controversy surrounding the definition of the condition. Although positive supervisory effects on vicarious traumatisation was only partially supported from general studies on counselling, highlighting the need for focused research on the value of supervision for Australian telephone and online counsellors at risk for vicarious traumatisation, overall supervision was seen to be a legitimate part of VT management for counsellors working in telephone and online environments.

“…Although video evidence of policing violence holds much promise for reducing racial disparities in policing, exposure to graphic violence via social media can also induce negative stress responses consistent with trauma-termed vicarious trauma (Ramsden, 2017). Vicarious trauma is created when individuals are repeatedly exposed to the trauma of others (Bober & Regehr, 2006;Kim et al, 2022;Pearlman & Caringi, 2009). Originating in the literature on well-being of careworkers, first-responders, and clinicians, vicarious trauma (VT) is created by exposure to another's trauma while also empathically engaging with and feeling a responsibility to help the victim (Pearlman & Caringi, 2009).…”

Objective: This research investigates how watching videos of police violence and experiences with police contributes to health disparities in well-being that disproportionately negatively affect Black Americans. Method: A large-scale survey of Americans (n = 1,240; n Black American = 286, n White American = 954) examined the impact of negative experiences with police and watching violent policing videos as distal (i.e., external) stressors that contribute to symptoms of trauma. The proximal (i.e., internal) stressor of worrying about being stereotyped as criminal by police was also examined. Results: Those who identified as Black were more likely to report negative experiences with police, exposure to violent policing videos, and greater worry about being stereotyped as criminal by police than those who identified as White. The three stressors were, in turn, associated with experiencing trauma symptoms. Conclusions: Exposure to violent policing videos is disproportionately associated with well-being for Black Americans, even when accounting for direct experiences with police. These findings demonstrate the importance of considering vicarious trauma in therapeutic settings and have implications for dissemination of these videos through media channels. Public Significance StatementVideos of police violence against Black Americans are distributed widely on social media and mass media channels. Our results indicate that watching these videos is associated with symptoms of trauma, an effect that is pronounced for Black viewers.

Working with trauma-affected young people in secondary schools: Exploring ‘self-care’ with pre-service physical education teachers

Working with trauma-affected youth in physical education (PE) can be a challenging and, at times, stressful and emotionally demanding process. Whilst little is known about how student trauma affects in-service teachers, even less is known about how it might impact pre-service PE teachers. The aims of this paper are therefore to (1) explore pre-service PE teachers’ experiences of working with students affected by trauma, and (2) consider the potential implications of this for their well-being. Through an online professional learning programme, we worked with three distinct groups of pre-service PE teachers ( n = 22). The workshops generated data through individual activities and group tasks that allowed participants to reflect on their experiences. Findings revealed that pre-service teachers had several encounters during their school-based placements with young people who may have experienced trauma. These experiences were felt by the pre-service PE teachers – both emotionally and physically. Pre-service PE teachers were encouraged to develop self-care strategies; however, our participants indicated that this was not always easy to do. That said, pre-service PE teachers were able to describe some of the strategies they engaged with to take care of themselves and safeguard their own well-being. Many of these strategies were relational and involved spending time with others – such as school colleagues (teachers and/or mentors) – who were available to offer both practical and emotional guidance and support. Thus, our findings reinforce the importance of pre-service teachers learning about self-care and emotional regulation as part of initial teacher education courses.
