Past Trauma Reflection
Thank you for being willing to share your experiences with past trauma and how they are impacting your perspectives on the material we are reviewing. When I first watched the video earlier in the week, I thought “oh yes, I remember the attending skills” from my undergraduate education in social work. Then I was reminded in a very concrete way that there is more to attending behaviors than just eye contact, attentive posturing, and reflection skills.
Then I met with a mother involved in a severe child abuse case this week in her home environment. She walked into the room, sat very far back in the chair diagonal from me, and never made eye contact while we talked. It this case it was important for me to match her posture and nonverbal cues
Historic Trauma Case Study
469 Words | 2 PagesHistoric trauma stems from relocation, disease, residential schools, the Indian Act, and racial policies meant to assimilate and eradicate Aboriginal people (First Nations Health Council, 2011). Contact between Aboriginal Peoples and non-Aboriginals facilitated the spread of epidemic diseases which lead to the Aboriginal population collapse (First Nations Health Council, 2011). Daschuk, Hackett and MacNeil (2006) note that different severities of diseases experienced by First Nations were directly related to the new realities of the First Nations peoples as they struggled to adapt to the world of the colonisers including economic dislocation, political changes, and changes from traditional diets all created the perfect environment for breading diseases. The government and churches actively colonized and controlled Aboriginal peoples by eroding all Aboriginal systems including “spirituality, political authority, education, health care systems, land and resource access, and cultural practices” (First Nations Health Council, 2011, p. 13). It is important to recognize that colonial structures have purposely sought to “eliminate Indigenous sovereignty, Indigenous governments and Indigenous constitutional orders” (Ladner, 2009, p. 90).

Vicarious Trauma Case Study
1143 Words | 5 PagesThe purpose of this research project was to study vicarious trauma in order to develop an understanding of this negative aspect of interpreting, to discover how interpreters deal with vicarious trauma, and to bring to light information pertaining to coping with this aspect of the interpreter’s job. In this case study, the researcher examined numerous articles pertaining to vicarious trauma. The researcher then interviewed two nationally certified interpreters: one through a phone conversation, and the other in a face-to-face interview.

Current research and the two interviews indicate that vicarious trauma is difficult for an interpreter to avoid, that interpreters use a variety of methods to handle vicarious trauma, and that anticipating vicarious trauma and creating a plan to deal with it can be beneficial for a new interpreter.
