VICARIOUS STRESS MANAGEMENT

Supporters, therapists and counselors are not “super-human-beings”. No one is immune to the pain and horror of trauma in our community. The people around you may be suffering and needing help.

However, you need to be aware of the fact that you may also have experienced an emotional trauma. Emotional self-care is essential for your well-being and for the well-being of your client. A burnt out therapist is a greater risk than help, for any client.

Here are some suggestions about how to prepare yourself to help others:

· Do some breathing exercises regularly to allow oxygen to nourish your blood and remind yourself that you are alive and functioning.

· Give yourself permission to allow your feelings to unfold. A personal journal is a valuable tool to assist you in ordering your thoughts.

· Make notes in this journal of what you believe has sustained you through past crises in your life and what you believe will sustain you now. Some examples might be:

o Drinking a cup of tea with a friend

o Praying

o Meditating

o Walking

o Watering your garden or flower pots

o Listening to music or playing an instrument

o Writing letters

o Reading what inspires you

o Drawing or painting

o Playing a physical sport alone or with others

· Regardless of your appetite and sense of body during this crisis, be purposeful and drink water throughout the day, eat three nourishing meals a day, keep up your regular hygiene practices including bathing, brushing teeth, washing hair and wearing clean clothes.

· Contact five people you care about and let them know you want to share a few moments with them during these hard times. Listen to their experiences and tell them yours. Let them know you care about them.

· Take walks or otherwise give yourself some physical exercise that takes you out into the day and away from television and radio news.

· Put something lovely in your line of vision: a plant, a pretty stone, or a beautiful picture.

If you take care of your own mind and emotions you will feel free enough to think appropriately, respond adequately, and think creatively with empathy and compassion for others. Then you will be able to share your passion for life and offer effective support to others.

Grudges, sadness, pain, fear and regrets…

Tienergeweld

Vir die doel van die artikel is die definisie van geweld ‘n doelbewustehandeling om iemand anders seer te maak. Geweld is ‘n groot probleem onder tieners en adolessente.

In Suid-Afrika is daar toenemende verslae van geweld wat deur jong mense veroorsaak word. Daar is egter nie ‘n enkele verklaring vir die toename in tienergeweld nie. Verskeie faktore dra by tot gewelddadige gedrag, onder meer:

· Groepsdruk en/of ideologiese rasionalisering

· Behoefte aan aandag of respek

· Gevoelens van lae selfwaarde

· Mishandeling (insluitend verwaarlosing) tydens vroeë kinderjare

· Aanskouing of belewenis van geweld in die ouerhuis en gemeenskap

· Vrye of maklike toegang tot wapens

Gebrek aan vaardighede om emosies te hanteer

Wat veroorsaak dat ‘n persoon iemand anders skop, slaan, steek of ‘n vuurwapen rig en afvuur? Wat veroorsaak dat ‘n jongmens hom- of haarself geweld aandoen? (Klik vir die volledige artikel)

“Being on either end of a violent situation, whether you seem to have come out with the upper hand or whether you don’t seem to, it doesn’t resolve anything. It escalates the problem. Hatred leads to more hatred. Violence leads to more violence.” A Yauch
