Come il trauma degli altri può influenzarti: comprendere e affrontare il trauma secondario 🌀

Nel mondo della salute mentale, spesso ci concentriamo sul trauma vissuto in prima persona, ma sapevi che essere testimone o ascoltare i traumi altrui può influenzare profondamente il tuo benessere emotivo? Questo è noto come trauma secondario.

Che tu sia un caregiver, un terapeuta o semplicemente una persona che supporta un caro nel suo percorso di guarigione, non è raro assorbire parte di quel peso emotivo. Il trauma secondario può manifestarsi con ansia, esaurimento emotivo e persino sintomi fisici. 🌧️

È importante ricordare che non devi affrontare tutto questo da solo. Riconoscendo i segnali, praticando l’autocura e cercando sostegno, puoi proteggere la tua salute emotiva continuando a essere di supporto agli altri.

💡 Presso Trauma Healing Therapy, aiutiamo le persone a elaborare sia il trauma primario che secondario attraverso terapie basate sull’evidenza, come l'EMDR. Che tu sia un operatore in prima linea, un terapeuta o una persona profondamente coinvolta nel supportare un caro, anche tu meriti di guarire.
Prenditi un momento per riflettere: il trauma secondario potrebbe influenzare la tua vita? Non sei solo in questo. 🌱
