In these practice types, lawyers are required to view crime or accident scenes, listen to victims’ stories and view or read reports of graphic evidence of traumatic victimization. Compassion Fatigue, also called “vicarious traumatization” or secondary traumatization, is the emotional residue or strain of exposure to working with those suffering from the consequences of traumatic events. It differs from burn-out, but can co-exist.\n\nListen in as Bill Slease, Rebecca Kitson, and Sarah Armstrong discuss their thoughts and experiences with compassion fatigue and offer some tips on how to manage a better sense of well-being in what is seen as some of the more difficult areas of law practice.\n"}
