Struggling just a little bit. Working on finishing this week's readings for my patient advocacy course, and it's just a little triggering. Some of the readings discuss psych patients in terms of being difficult patients, and I find it upsetting to the point of actually triggering my PTSD. I mean, that's why I'm doing this program, to advocate for psych patients, so it's to be expected that there are many misconceptions, and I can't go into too much more detail without turning this into a very long post, but just struggling a bit to manage my own triggers while doing my coursework - and doing this coursework is supposed to help me identify my triggers in regards to advocating before I start doing it, so it's to be expected. It's still unpleasant though.
