This study further explores an investigation into the formulation of vicarious resilience with a U.S. sample. In semistructured interviews, 10 mental health providers working with survivors of torture were affected by their clients’ stories of resilience. A grounded theory analysis of the transcripts found that participants were positively affected by the resilience of clients, their perspectives on life were altered, and they valued their therapy work with clients. These elements make up the phenomenon of vicarious resilience. Conceptual differences between vicarious resilience, posttraumatic growth, and empathic responses in trauma work are discussed.
