As a follow up to this post, I have uploaded a chapter from our SAGE handbook "Safer field research in the social sciences" for anyone interestedl The checklists at the end may be helpful to your, but especially to academic supervisors to recognize emotional distress and vicarious traumatisation.

Highly appreciated.

We can unsee what we have seen.
We can unhear what we have heard.

Thanks for the guide 👍

Thank you for this, but I already have complex PTSD. I just flip the switch in my head that turns off emotional responses.

That having been said, I don’t seek out combat porn. I don’t have a swtich that turns off moral responses.

This was good~ I want to always learn more. I appreciate that you posted it.
I often do not look at graphic images but I read everything I can get my hands on.
Now I know I need to go a little slower at reading too.
I want to be informed but also stay my happy self.
Thank you.
