Charlie Kirk and Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS)
https://infighting.org/causes-of-infighting/secondary-traumatic-stress
A key driver of our collective trauma from Charlie Kirks public execution and the undermining of his Leadership of Turning Point USA is secondary traumatic stress (STS). STS is just like post-traumatic stress, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), except that post-traumatic stress affects the direct victims of violence, while STS affects the witnesses to violence. (STS has also been referred to as “vicarious traumatization” and “compassion fatigue.”) STS is experienced by many good people who are working to end violence. Not only does STS contribute to infighting, but infighting can exacerbate STS, resulting in a feedback loop.
