Would you be willing to outline the process by which you ended up in school for social work? (I don't know any details, just the general background, and I'm sure many others here know about as much.) What were your motivations, your expectations/understandings? How has any of that changed? Did you expect to be able to detach yourself emotionally from the work, or at least set some safe boundaries for yourself, and now you're finding that it's hard to? (Hey, welcome to community service ;-) )
You know, no one's particularly adequate for the behemoth task of child abuse intervention, hence the crazy burnout trend. But are you convinced--or do you at least have a tentative faith--in this being God's calling for you, right now?
I can't tell from the tone of your post, what kind of feedback you're after. Is there anything that can/should be done so that you can stay on this current social work path? If not, why do you want to go to another one? Is it truth about yourself & God's direction for you now (which sometimes does seem to spin on a dime, I have to grant that), or is it fear that is pulling you? Mr. Intimidation himself/itself? If you can effectively rule out Mr. Intimidation first, then we can talk about journalism. |
