I thought that was compassion fatigueActually the term Secondary PTSD was orignially coined in reference to therapists who began exhibiting symptoms of PTSD after extensive therapy with patients of PTSD where they had listened to our trauma. Basically the therapists were getting traumatized listening to our trauma.
Of course since then, the term is being applied to everyone for all sorts of things. It is not an actual diagnosis, and I would be suprised if it ever does become one.

LOL compassion fatigue is what one gets from the constant stress of caring for another person. Secondary PTSD was about be traumatized by listening to ones trauma in a theraputic setting. Of course that is just the origins of Secondary PTSD and not what we see it referred to today.
Can all get very confusing can't it?
