Should counselors with interpersonal trauma histories work with similarly traumatized clients? How does the work affect them? Current research is inconsistent. This study examines 101 sexual assault and domestic violence counselors' recalled motivations for trauma work, their reported subjective personal changes, and their secondary and vicarious trauma symptoms and burnout. Counselors motivated by interpersonal trauma report both more symptoms and positive changes (including dealing with their own trauma). Those seeking personal meaning report becoming more hypervigilant and self-isolating. Those saying they learned from clients rate symptoms lower, suggesting stress inoculation. Supervisors of trauma counselors should facilitate learning from clients separately from processing the counselor's trauma.
咨询师有过人际创伤史，应该为同样经历过创伤的来访者提供服务吗？这项工作对他们有什么影响？目前的研究结果并不一致。本研究考察了 101 名性侵犯和家庭暴力咨询师对创伤工作的回忆动机、报告的主观个人变化，以及他们的继发性和替代性创伤症状和职业倦怠。受人际创伤驱动的咨询师报告的症状和积极变化（包括处理自己的创伤）都更多。那些寻求个人意义的咨询师报告说自己变得更加警惕和自我孤立。那些表示从客户那里有所收获的咨询师报告说症状较低，这表明他们有应激免疫。创伤咨询师的主管应该促进咨询师从客户那里学习，而不是处理咨询师的创伤。
