Self Care

looking after yourself

After challenging or emotive interactions, we often ruminate on what has happened and replay the conversation in our heads critiquing ourselves about what we could have done better or should have said differently- this is all normal, but if it gets out of hand by starting to make us feel guilty, anxious or any other negative emotion, then we need to seek help.

After helping someone or being involved in an emotive event, we can experience secondary trauma . Possible signs could be irritability, difficulty concentrating, outbursts of anger, feeling numb or emotionally attached, sleep problems, low mood. If you have been helping someone or are affected by an issue or incident and do not return to normal functioning within 4 weeks, seek professional help for yourself.
