What is Vicarious Trauma?
1.
Trauma that is delivered vicariously by the media (TV, film, books, newspapers, the Net,etc) and leaves the world in a constant state of shock, which leads to a tendency towards illness and a lot of over-eating. As we do not experience events dirctly, it is devilishly hard to expunge the horror.
We've all experienced the vicarious trauma of the Tsunami, of war, of tragedies depicted vividly by reporters.
