Jan Newman, a psychologist and mindset coach in Charlotte, North Carolina, says that vicarious trauma occurs when a professional experiences the signs and symptoms that mimic post-traumatic stress disorder in connection with traumatic material presented by the client. Newman says these signs and symptoms can include intrusive or persistent negative thoughts, avoidance and withdrawal, hyperarousal and hypervigilance, or sleep disturbance. Vicarious trauma, along with other mental illnesses, needs to be discussed starting in law school, and seeking help for these issues should be normalized.

With the prevalence of e-scooters comes more head injuries - and more lawsuits. One 27-year-old Florida woman suffered a fractured skull after colliding with a car at an intersection and now remains in a vegetative state. A lawsuit has been filed on her behalf against Neutron Holdings, also known as Lime. Her family is warning people about the dangers of riding e-scooters, and says that the companies who rent them are not being clear about where to ride the scooters.
