Charles Figley (1993) defined secondary trauma as “…the natural consequent behaviors and emotions resulting from knowing about a traumatizing event experienced by another - and the stress resulting from helping or wanting to help a traumatized or suffering person.” Individuals in helping professions are very likely to experience secondary trauma at some point in their careers. Helping professionals can include social workers, counselors, therapists, psychologists, educators, health/alternative care providers, etc. This group provides a space through yoga, mindfulness and meditation for helping professionals to transform trauma to resilience and is lead by a professional who themselves have experienced secondary trauma.
