All I know is when I worked in a similar field, I had to compartmentalize everything. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. I found myself triggered almost constanly but it was never an option for me to disclose or express any form of discomfort at the situation.
If you have a "work self" put her in charge of all the triggery stuff and once you ar home and safe, "momma self" can come back in. It isn't easy at all but you need to take good care of yourself.
You're doing an amazing thing and without people like you, the world would be so much more sad.
