(((Newfie girl))),

I am sorry you had to finally quit your job because it was constantly triggering the PTSD. I understand what your psychologist was saying, my psychologist has told me that because I have been in a lawsuit for so long, not been able to have closure to my trauma, it is very hard for him to help me move forward with the PTSD. What he was doing was just helping me manage the symptoms too.

In your case, while you were probably very good at validating and empathizing with these various patients, it just kept triggering your PTSD at the same time. It honestly doesn't surprise me that you have not gotten more support from the staff either, they are probably desensitized to that environment and those kinds of scenarios. That actually happens in a lot of medical treatment places, hospitals and psych wards and other places where there is so much of something that the staff becomes hardened and somewhat mechanical.

This may be a way to find something to do where you are not triggered and stressed which aggravates the PTSD.
