[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3563704, member: 35603"] There seems to be two different trains of thought on that. The Freudian approach is as you say. They see that you show signs of depression and start digging into some super crappy memory from when you were a kid and bringing all of those emotions to the surface again so you can schedule 10 more visits to try to work out stuff you had purposely stuffed in a box and stashed in a dark corner of your mind. I prefer the CBT approach. It describes pretty much exactly how [USER=42920]@killerpigeon[/USER] describes handling the tough situations that come with being a paramedic. It basically focuses on trying to find a positive angle in even the most traumatic events. I am not very good at it sometimes, but it seems to be a much healthier long term approach to the hard times life throws us into. First responders definitely have one of the toughest jobs, but you guys are a special cut of human. We are extremely lucky that folks like you run toward those situations to do your best to turn it around for people you have never met. [/QUOTE]
