The impact of trauma in legal practice extends far beyond individual client interactions. From law school through retirement, lawyers face unique psychological challenges that can fundamentally alter their personalities, relationships, and effectiveness as advocates. Dr. Colin James, author of "Vicarious Trauma and Burnout in Law," brings decades of experience as a senior lecturer of law and researcher to examine how trauma theory applies to legal practice. Through exploring concepts like vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and post-traumatic growth, this conversation illuminates practical ways that individual practitioners and organizations can build more trauma-informed approaches.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.agileattorney.com/71For Oregon Attorneys, you can claim CLE credit under the "Mental Health & Substance Abuse" requirement.

Social media has been part of our daily digital lives for nearly two decades now, and while there are plenty of positives associated with it, there's also an undeniably dark side. Recent years have brought to light the sometimes traumatic work experience of social media moderators who have to review content that's flagged as potentially harmful or offensive. Back in 2018, German directors Hans Block and Moritz Riesewick released a documentary called The Cleaners, which looked into just that and would go on to win several awards.

For Dr Colin James, the legal profession's relative reluctance to appreciate the impact of trauma in workplaces and educational settings is, in part, due to a “masculinist” history that has fed longstanding stigmas and repression of feelings that may arise as a result of being exposed to trauma in the course of one's work or study. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with retired legal academic and author Dr Colin James about his long and storied legal career and research, his decades-long interest and work in trauma, domestic violence, and masculinity (spurred by a lack of justice and fairness in society), his perception of law's embrace of trauma theory, and how and why the profession has been reluctant – relative to other sectors – to meaningfully acknowledge the need for change. James also discusses the need for legal workplaces and law schools to better incorporate trauma theory, the strategies that must be implemented in doing so, going beyond legislative requirements, the urgent need to make such changes in the current climate, as well as his newly published book, Vicarious Trauma and Burnout in Law.

Do you feel like you're on your own side? Are you able to speak to yourself with kindness? Or stick up for yourself in front of others? That, my friend, is self-compassion and it can be incredibly hard to do. Dr Em says, "compassion" in Latin translates to “with suffering.” And SELF-compassion is how we relate, reflect and react when our self is suffering. In this episode, Dr Em talks about why cultivating a self-compassionate voice is SO DIFFICULT, but how it's also pivotal in getting us through our darkest moments. And we chat through whether self-compassion needs a re-brand? (Hugh's gunning for self-chop-out, but we're still taking recommendations?)

Hey humans, it's Stacie Baird, and in this episode, I'm diving deep into something that's really close to my heart—how the HR world has evolved and the toll it can take on us as people. HR has come a long way from the days when it was just called "personnel," but with that evolution, we've also seen an increase in burnout and compassion fatigue among our people. I've been in HR for 25 years, and trust me, I've seen how these challenges can weigh on us. We talk about the trauma we absorb when we're constantly helping others—what's called vicarious trauma. I know that word can feel heavy, but if you've ever felt drained after dealing with a tough situation at work, you've experienced it. It's so important to recognize those feelings and start to move from being hyper-reactive to being highly regulated. I'm sharing some simple, yet powerful steps to help you do just that—starting with noticing how you feel and where you feel it in your body. It's the first step towards regaining control and building resilience. So, give yourself some grace, and let's start this journey together. Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

“Trauma bonds (also referred to as traumatic bonds) are emotional bonds that arise from a cyclical pattern of abuse. A trauma bond occurs in an abusive relationship wherein the victim forms an emotional bond with the perpetrator.[1] The concept was developed by psychologists Donald Dutton and Susan Painter.[2][3][4] Two main factors involved in the establishment of a trauma bond are a power imbalance and intermittent reward and punishment.[2][1][5] Trauma bonding can occur within romantic relationships, platonic friendships, parent-child relationships, incestuous relationships, cults, hostage situations, sex trafficking (especially that of minors), or tours of duty among military personnel.[2][6] Trauma bonds are based on terror, dominance, and unpredictability. As the trauma bond between an abuser and a victim strengthens, it can lead to cyclical patterns of conflicting emotions. Frequently, victims in trauma bonds do not have agency, autonomy, or an individual sense of self. Their self-image is an internalization of the abuser's conceptualization of them.[7] Trauma bonds have severe detrimental effects on the victim. Some long-term impacts of trauma bonding include remaining in abusive relationships, adverse mental health outcomes like low self-esteem, negative self-image, an increased likelihood of depression and bipolar disorder, and perpetuating a generational cycle of abuse.[1][5][8][9] Victims who develop trauma bonds are often unable or unwilling to leave these relationships. Many abuse victims who experience trauma bonding return to the abusive relationship.[10][11]” -Wikipedia. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Self-care is so much more than bubble baths and long walks on the beach. As helping professionals, we so often put our needs second, leaving us to pour from an empty cup. During this episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, I speak with Jenny Hughes, psychologist and vicarious trauma specialist. 1️⃣ Vicarious trauma is an inevitable part of our work as therapists, helpers, and healers. We are empathic beings who soak up the stress and trauma of our clients. Without effective strategies to "wring out the sponge," this can lead to difficulties such as compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout. 2️⃣ It's disheartening to see the high rate of mental health professionals leaving the field due to burnout. However, there's nothing wrong with leaving any profession. The crucial aspect is making an informed decision with intentionality. By exploring realistic and sustainable ways to manage burnout, you can find a path that aligns with your well-being and professional aspirations. 3️⃣ Self-care goes beyond bubble baths and beach walks. While these activities bring temporary relief, they don't address the root causes of burnout. It's essential for therapists to give themselves permission to acknowledge their struggles and imperfections. By implementing effective self-care strategies and seeking support, we can recharge and bring our best selves to our clients. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
In this week's podcast, Mike and Elizabeth discuss an article about the responsibility of journalists in reporting, specifically reports about the war in Ukraine. The authors suggest that consumers of the news may be traumatized by seeing 24/7 coverage, perhaps even more traumatized and demoralized than those who are living in a war zone. The description of potential harm and the fragility of readers or viewers is reminiscent of that which is leveraged by some social justice advocates, and the authors narrowly escape a call for censorship.
