Vicarious Trauma: How to Reconcile its Impact Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, MSW Seattle, WA Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, MSW, is an internationally known trauma worker who has been engaged in this work for 24 years. She has worked locally, nationally and internationally. Her work has included front-line work with homelessness, domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, the sex trade, natural disasters, environmental destruction and other acute trauma. She is known as a pioneer in the field of trauma exposure and its toll on those working in trauma related fields. For more than a decade she has been constantly sought after to speak on her theory of trauma stewardship, which explores how humans are impacted by exposure to the suffering, hardship, crisis and trauma of humans, other living beings and the planet itself. Laura is the author of the book Trauma Stewardship, An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others. Additionally, she is the founder and director of a Spanish language preschool and grade school enrichment program guided by a social justice and environmental stewardship curriculum. Ms. van Dernoot Lipsky explores how we are impacted by society, work and career. Through this larger backdrop, we come to understand the shifts that occur in us personally and professionally and why we adapt the way we do. She focuses on how to reconcile what we experience in our work and the world around us in a way that is compassionate, honest, accountable and sustainable. Whether one may be experiencing burnout, fatigue, cynicism, guilt, or any other number of consequences of demanding work, we come to understand how to make choices that will allow us to interact with our work and our lives and remain true to ourselves and those we serve.
