RoSa Podcast, Psychiatry Region Zealand

In three episodes of Rosa’s podcast, Rikke Høgsted talks about exposure psychology and prevention.

Episode 32: Exposure Psychology and a Sustainable Working Life

Psychologist Rikke Høgsted, author of Foundation Book in Exposure Psychology, which covers primary and secondary traumatization in psychologically demanding work, takes us back to the trenches of World War I and debunks the myth that some people are invulnerable. We explore what research in exposure psychology identifies as the key protective factors that help caregivers maintain balance and ensure sustainability in their working lives.

Episode 33: Strain Reactions in Helping Professions

Joined by psychologist Rikke Høgsted, this episode discusses the strain reactions that professional helpers need to be aware of in themselves and each other. What are the warning signs? Does imbalance in working life show up as under- or overinvolvement? Are we in the blue or red zone of Rikke Høgsted’s Red–Green–Blue model?

Episode 34:

In this episode, psychologist Rikke Høgsted explains how prevention ideally occurs on multiple levels – but above all, it is a team effort. The Fisherman’s Bench is one method we can use with colleagues: an existential space where we practice being with feelings of powerlessness, so we can manage them in a balanced way.
