EMDR Therapy Indianapolis
Specialization: Compassion Fatigue and Secondary Trauma for Healthcare Providers
You’re frozen….
You’ve put in so much effort to be able to do this work, and now you’re derailed. Perhaps you are overcome with sadness, shock, fear, or disbelief; you’ve even begun to question your own competency.
You’ve made it your life’s work to help others in their lowest moments, assessing their needs and providing skilled, quality care. Your days are filled with back-to-back appointments, and you’ve been exposed to the heart-wrenching stories of your patients, many of whom were survivors of abuse or witnesses to violent events. The constant exposure to such intense emotional pain has started to silently erode your own emotional well-being.
Your typical pleasures in life don’t lift your spirits like they once did. Laughter and time with people you care about, which usually fills you with joy, now feels distant and muted. You realize you’re struggling to be present, as your mind replays the story of one patient in particular. Perhaps sleep is interrupted by racing thoughts or even vivid nightmares, which impacts your ability to focus on the following next day. It’s becoming more and more difficult to deny how much this is impacting your work, your relationships, your health.
