I have experienced it personally. While I was a social worker, I was exposed to many kinds of human trauma, including cases of child abuse. Gradually, the distress I was witnessing at work intruded on my inner, personal sense of security. I only noticed what was happening during a holiday with my family. My father took my nephews to his bed to read stories to them, just as he used to do in my own childhood. As a social worker exposed to many kinds of child abuse, I found myself, walking into my father\u2019s room and checking that \u2018everything was fine.\u2019 Needless to say, I had a happy and healthy childhood. My dad looked at me and realized what I was doing. He had huge disappointment in his eyes. Later on, he told me that it was one of the most difficult moments of his life. That was the first time I realized what exposure to trauma can do. <a title=\"Secondary Tramatization\" href=\"http:\/\/bordercriminologies.law.ox.ac.uk\/traumatization-helping-ourselves\/\" target=\"_blank\">READ M<\/a><a title=\"Secondary Tramatization\" href=\"http:\/\/bordercriminologies.law.ox.ac.uk\/traumatization-helping-ourselves\/\" target=\"_blank\">ORE &#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally posted on 18\/02\/2015 by Border Criminologies &#8212; Guest post by Shlomit Weiss-Dagan (MSW), a clinical social worker in a\u00a0social welfare department, Jerusalem, and PhD candidate (social work) at\u00a0Bar-Ilan University, Israel.
