Abstract

An online article considering the psychological consequences of working in the domestic abuse sector for practitioners who have lived experience of domestic abuse themselves. As well as clear benefits, there were personal costs to being involved in support work as a survivor. The main issue appeared to be triggering painful memories and trauma, irrespective of the time between experience and practice. Some women survivors found it difficult not to recall events in their own lived experience when working with women service users, especially if their personal accounts resonated with their own experiences.
