Compassion fatigue (Figley, 1995) is the convergence primary traumatic stress, secondary traumatic stress (Stamm, 1995) and cumulative stress/burnout in the lives of supporting professionals and other care providers. When assisting others precipitates a bargain in our own well-being we are enduring Compassion fatigue. The manifestations often mirror, to a lesser degree, those of our clients. Vicarious traumatization (McCann & Pearlman, 1990) is an applicable term that also describes this tendency of the transmission of traumatic stress by observation and/or being a witness to the experiences of painful events. Secondary traumatic stress happens when one is subjected to intense events directly experienced by another and is overpowered by this secondary exposure to trauma (Figley & Kleber, 1995). More than a few theories have been offered but none have been able to effectively illustrate the system which accounts for the transmission of traumatic stress from one individual to another. Figley (1995) hypothesizes that the caregiver’s empathy level with the traumatized person has a vital role in this transmission.
