Hi,
I've always been drawn to helping people.
I'm considering a career as a support worker, but I find it hard to control my emotions sometimes. I really can't envisage myself doing anything else.
I either need to find a way or I rethink my career.
Any advice or ideas would be appreciated. X
Don't. A support worker needs to keep a cool head and act rationally, especially when everybody else is in the grip of violent emotions. An hyper empathic is an excellent friend and lover, but a terrible support worker.
