How is it any different from ER doctor, coroner, social worker, or investigator?

  > How is it any different from ER doctor, coroner, social worker, or investigator? Yes. All those people should have support too. And many more. What is it with people and saying we need to race to the bottom? Like when people react to other people's high pay and benefits not by saying, "I should be up there with you", but instead, "why aren't you down here with me?" The implication being, I guess, we need to do more to spread the suffering and not lift people.

    What is it with people saying we need to sugar coat, bubble wrap, and insulate our tender egoes from the reality of the world? Psychologists have a term for that. It's called denial.

      If you happen to have a psychologist who is trivializing trauma or PTSD type symptoms in these terms I'd say I think you need to find a different psychologist.
