Today's session was a marathon. R and I spent most of the time discussing the fallout from my safeguarding training. It doesn't seem that uncommon for people to have triggering experiences during training. She asked whether the facilitators had offered the opportunity to talk to somebody if anything impacted us, and I confirmed that they had, but 'We both know how big my can of worms is...I didn't take them up on it.'

'I would have been surprised if you had.'


We talked about my anger gaining ground again, and intensifying now that I have a 'label' for my experience, whether I want to use it or not. R reminded me that it's only been a week since the training, so it's going to take a while for me to feel comfortable with it.

'We can process it together.'
