Vicarious trauma is an invisible wound. Always process the heavy emotions you absorb, and don't let client pain become your burden. Supervision and strong boundaries are non-negotiable professional survival tools. 🛡️

Sound advice on mitigating the vicarious trauma that can come with open-source research on awful stuff.

The piece focuses on war and violence, but this applies to work on contentious politics, too.

A few ways this regularly arises in my work on CCC:

* Watching clips of police violence
* Watching clips from vigils (for me, esp. ones with grieving parents)
* Reading or watching hate screeds
