Here are some of the mental symptoms of secondary trauma:

  • irritability,
  • issues with boundaries,
  • greater sensitivity to violence,
  • mood swings,
  • aggression,
  • raised voice.

If you are experiencing those symptoms talk to a trusted support network and ask for help. It is possible that you are experiencing vicarious trauma.
