🔎 Psychotrauma and Legal Professionals ⚖️ „Legal professionals (judges, lawyers, court clerks, etc.) are often confronted with potentially traumatic situations in the course of their duties. These situations may include violence, abuse, neglect and other forms of trauma, which can have a significant impact on the professionals involved. ➡️ There are two types of risk for justice professionals: 📌direct trauma - for example when legal professionals intervene at crime scenes or are generally directly confronted with traumatic situations; 📌vicarious trauma - professionals exposed to stories of trauma may develop vicarious trauma, characterised by reactions similar to those of direct victims of the trauma. ⚠ How to protect yourself? 1. Get to know the signs of trauma 2. Rearrange your schedule so that ideally, you are not 100% focused on the same traumatic subjects 3. Work in teams 4. Being aware of "why we do this job" and know its proper limits. 5. Allowing yourself to express your emotions." This is an extract from the recent publication "Psychotrauma and Legal Professionals" published by Centre national de ressources et de résilience (Cn2r).
