Secondhand stress is the sense of tension or overwhelm brought on by being around or watching someone else's stress. Even if individuals are not directly involved in the source of stress, it happens when they are negatively impacted by the stress of those around them.
In this podcast, Eliz Greene talks about an interesting topic- Secondhand stress. She discusses in detail the causes and consequences of the same and how they can put negative impact on employees.
