3rd "trauma" case today..
hm... almost a "trauma" case everyweek.. looks like i am getting a rather regular dose of "excitment" nowadays..

wasn't really emotionally affected by today's case.. though it's a different feeling between an adult's death and a child's death..

was trying to do some reflections on why I wasn't much affected by today's case, which i think I should be.. (On the contary, I felt more emotional during the first trauma case)..
Am I really not affected? Have I really become "emotional-less"?
Or was I tired out by the whole process?

Bee Hong asked me today if I really wanted to continue in psychotrauma, whereby there is higher probability of handling such cases that involve sudden death.
I think currently i am still coping.. and i think i still need to learn a lot of skills to manage such cases better... which sparked my interest in going for courses relating to Lost and Grief, maybe Working with Children on grief too..

I shall continue to try out for a few more months.. Unless I develop PTSD myself... haha.
