How can social media exposure lead to vicarious trauma?
Thanks for asking. Social media has been part of our daily digital lives for nearly two decades now.
And while there are plenty of positives associated with it, There's also an undeniably dark side.
Recent years have brought to light the sometimes traumatic work experience of social media moderators who have to review content that's flagged as potentially harmful or offensive.
Back in 2018, German directors Hans Bloch and Moritz Riesewiec released a documentary called The Cleaners which looked into just that and would go on to win several awards.
The Cleaners showed how moderators often have to sift through tens of thousands of hateful messages and extremely violent images each day, leading to a significant impact on their mental health.
Over time, their empathy morphed into symptoms of post -traumatic stress, as if they had personally experienced the violence they were moderating.
This is an example of vicarious trauma, a phenomenon which can actually affect people from many different walks of life.
Where did the concept come from?
It's also referred to as secondary trauma, and was first theorized by psychologists and researchers Lisa McCann and Laurie Pearlman.
Back in 1990 they published an article coining the term vicarious traumatization in the Journal of Traumatic Stress.
It described the psychological impact that a patient's traumatic stories can have on their therapist. Secondary trauma doesn't just affect therapists, but also police officers, lawyers, social workers and the entire medical profession.
Experts say that these people may begin to experience intrusive thoughts, repetitive and overwhelming memories and recurring nightmares.
Combined, this can all lead to avoidance behavior like not wanting to go back to work, as well as hyper vigilance or irritability.
Treatment can also be challenging because the memories and nightmares don't actually belong to the person suffering from vicarious trauma, leaving them in a state of confusion about their condition.
What if you don't work in a high exposure field?
Anyone can find themselves suffering from vicarious trauma, really, especially if they frequently spend time scrolling through social media or closely following the news.
images of victims from armed conflicts or natural disasters can trigger a similar traumatic response to what a web cleaner or therapist might experience.
So it's really important that you limit your media consumption and avoid doomscrolling in particular, especially if you know you're psychologically vulnerable or highly empathetic.
