Abstract

Objective: The objective of this article was to provide a first-person account of the vulnerable aspects of my life where I questioned if VT had influenced my thought processes and to uncover the potential health risks associated with exposure to patients' repeated stories of trauma. I questioned whether I was experiencing VT or other disorders such as burnout, posttraumatic stress disorder, or compassion fatigue. The scholarly literature was reviewed after my personal reflection to analyze my personal experiences and to gain clarity on how VT and/or other related concepts may impact the professional and personal lives of SANEs.

Methods: Methods used to produce my personal stories have been done via self-reflection and journaling. Three stories that I believe may resemble VT are shared and analyzed vis-à-vis the literature. My personal vignettes are compared with signs and symptoms of VT and illustrate how they may manifest in the daily lives of SANEs.

Implications: To date, researchers have neglected to explore concrete examples of the personal depth VT may exhibit in an individual's life. By disclosing and synthesizing my personal stories, I hope to encourage SANEs to be open about their experiences, spread awareness and prevention strategies regarding VT, and, ultimately, further enhance well-being and promote increased longevity in their careers.

一位加拿大性侵犯鉴定师的个人反思和对继发性创伤的持续质疑。
目的:本文的目的是以第一人称叙述我生活中脆弱的一面,我质疑 VT 是否影响了我的思维过程,并揭示与接触病人反复讲述的创伤故事相关的潜在健康风险。我质疑自己是否正在经历 VT 或其他疾病,如职业倦怠、创伤后应激障碍或同情疲劳。在我进行个人反思后,我查阅了学术文献,以分析我的个人经历,并明确 VT 和/或其他相关概念可能会如何影响 SANE 的职业和个人生活:我通过自我反思和写日记的方式来撰写我的个人故事。我分享了三个我认为可能与 VT 相似的故事,并对照文献进行了分析。我的个人小故事与 VT 的迹象和症状进行了比较,并说明了它们在 SANE 日常生活中的表现形式:迄今为止,研究人员一直忽视对 VT 在个人生活中可能表现出的个人深度的具体实例进行探讨。我希望通过披露和总结我的个人经历,鼓励急救人员坦诚面对自己的经历,传播有关 VT 的意识和预防策略,并最终进一步提高他们的幸福感,延长他们的职业寿命。
