CE-CERT Model
This book provides helping professionals with a portfolio of skills that support emotion regulation and recovery from secondary trauma exposure.
“I wish I had read this book at the beginning of my career.”
Each chapter presents evidence-informed skills that allow readers to regulate distressing emotions and to foster increased empathy for those suffering from trauma.
“This book was recommended to me by my therapist as I am a upcoming therapist in training. He told me that it completely reframed how he works with clients and wishes it was part of grad school curriculum. Boy was he right! I have gleaned so many important insights from reading this book.”
Reducing Secondary Traumatic Stress goes beyond the usual discussion of burnout to talk in specific terms about what we do about the very real stress that is produced by this work.

“Just what the trauma field needed at just the right time. This book is 100% Brian Miller, clever, wise, articulate, full of sage and nuanced advice for addressing secondary traumatic stress symptoms in real time. If I were curating a greatest hits list in professional literature, this would be top of the charts!
