I worked on a partial care unit for children and adolescents for 3 years at a prominent hospital, while obtaining my master’s on the weekend in the city. I loved it… eventually. Initially, I had such a deep visceral reaction my first month on the unit. My first few months might even be identified as traumatic. The crisis was intense; the level of violence in the stories of the youth I held space for was unbelievable. Sometimes the youth were not even aware or able to recall their trauma histories
