SOCW6333 Walden wk 5 Symptoms of Vicarious Trauma Supervision Assignment
Other
As a professional in the field, you may train your future supervisees on their risks and possible symptoms of vicarious trauma, while also promoting professional self-care. Often it is difficult for new practitioners to accept that their clients or students may affect them. As their supervisor, it is your responsibility to help bridge the gap between good therapeutic behavior and human emotions. Although there is no substitute for effective therapeutic behavior, it is important to remember that as a helping professional you are not invincible, and the more awareness new practitioners have about the risks of developing vicarious trauma, the more apt they will be to prevent it.
For this Assignment, you review an example of a supervision session located in this week’s Resources for Day 1. Think about the evidence-based strategies you would use to address the issues presented by the supervisees as well as promoting self-care.
