Compassion Fatigue Therapy: Individual, group work and agency consultation in the Bay Area

with Psychotherapist, Pauline Wakeham, LCSW

Therapists and others, whose work brings them into direct contact with other people's pain are at risk of vicarious traumatization. It was this knowledge and my 20+ years of experience that led me to want to be a resource to others in the helping professions. I have seen too many people crash and experienced  vicarious trauma myself.

Compassion Fatigue Therapy for therapists, teachers, nurses and first responders includes comprehensive assessments (self care needs,  professional quality of life scale, physical, stress, ego resiliency), and self care plan development. We look at helping styles, our vulnerability and work stressors. I am guided  by the work of the Figley Institute and Somatic Trauma healing principles.

"Therapists have bodies too"

Movement and dance group for therapists:

Bringing together the 5 Rhythms®, Resource oriented skill training and Somatic Experiencing® in the service of healing  and transformation     while connecting with others in the energy field of ritual.

Movement is particularly valuable to us, since we spend so much time sitting in the energy field of pain and suffering.  Allowing energy to move through us like a wave, our movement and dance experience can support us in self regulation, rest and renewal.

See Movement and Dance >>> for more details about the trauma healing potential of dance.
