Produktbeschreibung

Traumatic events and crises can affect any workplace. They range from the major incident such as an act of terror, active shooter to natural and man-made disasters that affect the whole business and the community it is part of - to events that impact on a smaller group of employees. These can include violence, robberies, sudden death and suicide, serious accidents and many, many other incidents that leave employees (and the organisation) distressed and destabilised. If you are involved in the management of a traumatic incident at work whether you are responsible for preparing an organisation, responding to the crisis or facilitating the recovery of those affected then this book is written for you. The authors are international trauma consultants who between them have over 40 years' experience of working with the immediate and longer-term impact of workplace trauma. They are passionate about delivering trauma education in an accessible, thought-provoking manner. In this book they cover essentials such as • The human survival response and traumatic stress reactions • Managing the immediate psychological needs in individuals and groups • When, where and how to offer further support • Dealing with a death in the workplace • Drawing up a strategic plan • Managing employees who are at risk of vicarious trauma Illustrative examples, practical activities and useful resources are interwoven throughout the book, helping readers to explore issues and draw up a strategic plan based on their specific context. Whether you are new to the subject or have considerable experience, this book will offer new insights as well as pragmatic, practical suggestions for action.

Autorenporträt

For over 20 years, I worked as a psychotherapist and crisis interventionist helping people who have been through distressing or traumatic events. Sometimes I would see them immediately after an event, other times it could be many, many years later.
My specialist area of clinical work was trauma and I recognized that trauma, often from early childhood, lay behind many other issues in adulthood. With my clients, we would trace back the origins of their problems and use powerful techniques such as EMDR and ego state therapy to heal the original wounds.
I realized that some of the approaches from my psychotherapy practice could be adapted and developed to help people with emotional eating and particularly with the conflict of yoyo dieting. I have always aimed to empower people to regain control of their life and their happiness through understanding their inner selves. I hope my books go some way towards this.
