Listening to them. Absorbing their emotions. Remaining present even when the pain spills over. We naturally think of doctors, firefighters, and psychologists\u2014but also lawyers, mediators, workplace confidential advisers, harassment officers, and, within organisations, often-overlooked roles such as health and safety managers or HR professionals. All these professions share one common denominator: listening to people who have experienced difficult, sometimes violent or traumatic situations. Repeated exposure to accounts of suffering is not neutral. It leaves traces. It can alter professional judgement, weaken one\u2019s sense of identity, and undermine emotional safety\u2014especially in the absence of appropriate training or supervision."}
