Health and social care professionals who work with people who've suffered traumatic experiences are themselves at risk of vicarious traumatisation.
So what can you do to understand and protect yourself from this?
This week Dr Paula Redmond is joined by Anne McKechnie, an independent Consultant Forensic and Clinical Psychologist.
The pair discuss the psychological impact of being in a caring profession and the differences between vicarious traumatisation, secondary trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout.
Anne also outlines steps we can take to prevent vicarious traumatisation at organisational, team and individual levels.
