Yes your T was right because all you are seeing is victims constantly, victims like yourself. You can empathize with them, but you never got a chance to
finally work through your own trauma and that environment was only
keeping your own trauma in the present for you. And as you mentioned, you were seeing many of them get worse, and many of them probably were developing PTSD, instead of actually getting the grief counseling and support they really need. Also, it is not unusual for administrative personel to become numb to that either, instead it becomes more of "just processing people" and moving them along and unfortunately, moving them along doesn't mean they will actually get what they need, sadly.
