The American Counseling Association (ACA) recognizes a person’s cultural identity, spirituality, and religion or lack thereof, is central to how a person views the world. Thus, it has a great influence on a person’s daily functioning. Therefore you must understand where spirituality and culture fit into a client’s life and how spirituality and culture impacts a person’s perspective of the world. You also must consider how spirituality and culture influence a person’s behavior and belief systems which can ultimately impact the development or perpetuation of vicarious trauma. As a counselor, counselor educator, and supervisor you must be comfortable as well as competent in addressing spirituality and cultural issues related to the treatment and prevention of vicarious trauma.With these thoughts in mind:Post a brief description of your definition of spirituality. Then, explain how you would approach spirituality and culture in the treatment of vicarious trauma with future supervisees and clients/and or students. Explain how your views on spirituality might impact the counseling process. Finally, describe one skill counselors need to be spiritually and culturally competent when treating clients with vicarious trauma and why. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points.Learning ResourcesReadingsCourse Text: Secondary traumatic stress: Self-care issues for clinicians, researchers, and educatorsChapter 9, “Trauma-Based Psychiatry for Primary Care”Course Text: Quitangon, G. & Evces, M.
