hello reflections , I am trying to post here for the first time . if this one doesn’t work I am going to e-mail it to elyshia! You raise a lot of interesting questions! ones that are familiar and your painful and honest struggles are so familiar! without a lot of background on myself I will share that for several years I had an outside supervisor that I paid for to help me with self monitoring as it impacted my clients. This supervisor also had access to my therapist. It is one of those dilemmas that Should be able to be resolved in agency supervision but is so risky to disclose in so many work places that survivor /therapist have to work twice as hard to keep things healthy. Not fair, but the way it is too often. This worked really well for me. You sound fairly new to the field and may not have run into other professionals with other mental health issues beside survivorship. Believe me people can do wonderful work with others even if they are struggling with issues like depression. As long as you are taking care of yourself and have good supervision you should be OK.. good luck and hope this thing posts!
