I work in social services. I hear trauma all day long. I love my job though. I feel like I’m helping people. Our agency is always talking about self care and resilience. I have asked once this week for a sick day, and I REQUESTED one as well. When I asked, they made me feel quilty, although the HAD the coverage, so I caved. When I requested a day two days later from trauma fatigue, I was told they didn’t have enough coverage and could I work 6-8 which would be the last two hours of my shift. Again, I gave in. Why do I do this?
