Stressful trauma for emergency
services:
We are exposed to traumatic events everyday
in our chosen careers. Stressful trauma is a fact of life that we work
with.
When stressful trauma accumulates inside
of us to such a degree that our moment to moment thoughts and actions
or, our hour to hour or day to day actions become altered in such a way
so as to cause us to doubt ourselves and, have the energy of the event(s)
affect our moods, or reach to the core of our beings then:
It can be said that we are in crisis.
To suggest that we can by ourselves, in
the silence of the misery, find a way out of the inner darkness is to
hide the truth.
To seek help from others by "sounding
off" that we need help understanding what is happening to us is the
sign of professional maturity.
Seeking competent assistance is the only
way we will progress into a healthy future for all emergency care givers
on the front line. |
