Counsellors were assessed on measures of general life stress, burnout, and traumatic stress. Twenty-four percent were experiencing high levels of general life stress, 16% reported high levels of Emotional Exhaustion, 26% felt ineffective in terms of Personal Accomplishment at work, and 14% were experiencing high traumatic stress levels similar to clients with post-traumatic stress disorder. Relationships between measures and demographic variables are presented, and a profile of impaired counselors was identified. Implications of these findings for counsellors working with trauma victims are discussed.}, number={3}, journal={Canadian Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy}, author={Arvay, Marla J. and Uhlemann, Max R.}, year={2007}, month={Jan.} }
