Reducing Secondary Traumatic Stress

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Just what the trauma field needed at just the right time. This book is 100% Brian Miller-clever, wise, articulate, and full of sage and nuanced advice for addressing secondary traumatic stress symptoms in real time. The model he offers is erudite, empowering, and hopeful. If I were curating a greatest hits list in professional literature, this would be top of the charts! I recommend a copy for yourself and another to share with students, supervisees, and colleagues."

"Reducing Secondary Trauma: Skills for Sustaining a Career in the Helping Professions addresses one of the most pressing and currently unmet needs in the trauma field-the sustained wellness of providers. Drawing from personal stories, relatable examples, and empirical evidence, Dr. Miller provides concrete, practical strategies that anyone can add to their own practice. The importance of evidence-informed, effective strategies to address secondary trauma cannot be overstated, which is why I recommend this book and the CE-CERT model to anyone doing trauma work."

"In Reducing Secondary Trauma: Skills for Sustaining a Career in the Helping Professions, Brian Miller has synthesized and distilled research from a wide range of fields to provide a roadmap for trauma-affected professionals to not just sustain their careers but to thrive in them! Going beyond the usual focus on self-care and work-life balance, Miller's CE-CERT model provides a discrete set of concrete skills and practices that empower professionals to consciously and systematically transform the risk of trauma work into a truly rewarding and affirming experience."
