Trauma and Grief
Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma in the Church: A Strategy for Debriefing
Compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and burnout can be all too common in our church environments, but this talk offers hope and strategies for addressing them. Pamela emphasizes the importance of openly discussing and acknowledging the problem and creating a supportive work environment. The Low Impact Debriefing (LID) strategy proposed involves self-awareness, fair warning, consent, and low-impact disclosure, and can help limit the disclosure of traumatic content and avoid "sliming" each other. Pamela recommends applying this approach to all conversations, including social settings, to debrief without causing harm to oneself or others. Let's work together to create a culture of support and care in our churches.
