If You Look After Other People for a Living

Nurses, aides, techs and other healthcare workers tend to be better at noticing a problem in someone else than in themselves. It is easy to keep going long after you should have asked for help.

I came to this work through nursing, across long-term care and psychiatric settings. You don't have to explain the job to me before we can talk about how it is affecting you.

What Might Come Up

You can bring any of it.

Exhaustion That Rest Doesn't Fix

Coming home with nothing left, and low mood that outlasts your days off.

What You Have Seen

Hard deaths, hard shifts and memories that come back.

Anxiety

Replaying your shift, dreading the next one, sleeping badly.

Being on the Other Side

The strangeness of being the one in the chair, and worries about your privacy and your job.

Can I be seen in the evening?
