Trauma-response helping professionals are often damaged by brutal events and may feel rage and grief over the intentional or unintentional harm done to others. As a result, it is not uncommon to find them traumatized by such experiences. Those who experience primary trauma, including trauma-response helping professionals working with clients, often have similar needs related to treatment. It is essential that you recognize what interventions are appropriate for primary trauma and those interventions appropriate for vicarious trauma.

Assignment (2–3 pages): (Be very detailed in response, Use APA references and use subheading in response)

• Compare two similarities and two differences between the symptoms of survivors of trauma and trauma-response helping professionals experiencing vicarious trauma.
• Using the current research, describe an evidence-based intervention that can be used for helping professionals who might experience vicarious trauma.
• Explain the implications of vicarious trauma preparedness and training on your future professional role, especially as it relates to working with survivors of trauma. Be specific.
• Identify one insight you had or conclusion you drew based upon the comparison. Be specific
