could be triggering

[Cammy]

I totally sympathize with what you have to deal with in terms of your clientele. I don't think I would be able to handle working with the perpetrators. Like you, it is the survivors who I feel the strongest pull toward. I can see how stressful and how much self control and energy it would take for you to get through your work day. It must also be powerfully triggering for you at times. Empathy can only take you so far when personal experience is giving you a 'visceral' perspective on the situation. You must be an incredibly strong individual to wade through your daily schedule. I hope that somehow you get a chance to find an opportunity to work with the clients that are closest to your own interests and aptitudes. Don't stop looking for this chance. It will be well worth the search.
