The Power of Helpers: A Reflection on Season Two TraumaTies
-
- Society & Culture
“In times of great need, look for the helpers.” Mr. Rogers’ words have never been truer than in Season Two of TraumaTies, where we spoke with some of the preeminent helpers navigating vicarious trauma in their fields.
In the Season Two finale of TraumaTies, host and Executive Director of the Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC), Bridgette Stumpf, and co-host, Lindsey Silverberg, Deputy Director at NVRDC, reflect on the impactful conversations with unsung heroes in trauma support.
If we are born as ice blocks, helpers are the torches smoothing and shaping us. This season included fascinating discussions with helpers in their respective fields on the importance of empathy and caretaking. Bridgette and Lindsey got to explore the often unexpected intersection between trauma and areas such as medicine, politics, nutrition, and veterinary and mortuary sciences. Overall, Season Two has highlighted the importance of searching for meaning and purpose in each of our lives. TraumaTies looks forward to continuing these conversations in Season Three!
