For anyone who works in people-intensive or service-oriented industries where you are having to regularly manage or deal with people's emotional responses sometimes in pressured situations, etc. whether in health, education, social work, customer service, etc. how do you or did you handle the effects of the emotional strain or labor required? How long have you worked in this area and if you left, what made you leave? Did you find peace in a non-people-intensive job or did you just retire?
My experience is that there is an imbalance in the expectations of these situations. You don't always get the proper or adequate training to deal with the social-emotional aspects of the job but you are expected to take on more and more and internalize the responsibility of other people's responses, with often very little consideration for how it affects your own mental health.
What do you think?
Methinks this thread may become a form of trauma bonding
