Ok here goes. I was triggered badly by a group of professional social workers during mandatory pre adoption classes with no trigger warnings posted . No detailed class outline or support was provided. Real video was used on all forms of " bad stuff". The only thing I was told was that I needed to complete these classes before anyone would talk to me about adoption. I went in blindly without support of a T. My T says that she believes that it was very irresponsible to have such classes without warnings and available support. T went on to say that when she attends trauma workshops to keep her license active, there are trained T's available to help the "T's" in case they are triggered. They are instructed to get help immediately if they are triggered. Wow T's are trained to go to a T during a workshop if they are triggered. She said she can be triggered. She is trying to be real with me since I am really afraid of T's. She says she has a T for trauma work and not to worry about triggering her or breaking boundaries. So it made me think yeah that was irresponsible and good I am not a freak for thinking the classes were horrible. T's are human and social workers do make bad choices esp if they are not well trained. Then I thought I could never be a T because I would disassociate with the client and it would be a big mess. What responsibility they have. It has caused me to stop and make sure I am not crossing any boundaries with my patients. JUST ASK.
