Secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, psycho-hygiene…
Some years ago most of these concepts were unknown for me, or at least quite far from my life. I hadn’t ever had anything to do with them. Until a few years ago, I picked up the phone in my work at a women’s rights organization where I worked in the support unit for victims of violence. I was listening to the story of a 17-year-old girl, her detailed description of violence, death threats against her, and her despair in trying to find a solution in her situation.
