My gf works in an emergency ward in a support role (neither doctor nor nurse). I sometimes wonder how things are affecting her. I ask every so often if she’s ok, and listen when she rants about things.

But I wonder if therapy would help her. It’s a high stress environment even if she’s not the one getting her hands dirty.

Suggestions?

    There’s even a few that thrive in it.

    I rather suspect she is one of those types who shines in the chaos. I think her stress comes more from co-workers than the situation.

      Oh. Yeah… Coworker issues can be universal no matter what industry lol. But yes! Continue to be there to listen to her and support her. Youre a great partner for asking the question! Therapy wouldn’t hurt but its a very personal decision.
