I've been wondering if there are professional, licensed therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists lurking or even participating in the forum.

I forget who but there is one who is really nice who I've talked to in here a few times. Or maybe they used to be. I'm not sure.
It's likely. A lot of people go into that profession because they know about trauma first hand, and just because they've trained to help other people doesn't mean they don't still have their own.

There would be. But here's the thing like I learned when in classes. A lot of people enter psychology because they are trying to understand and cope with their own issues/abuse/etc. They're just as human as the rest of us. They can want to ctb just as much as the rest, as they are here too.
So, just something to remember as well :)

Me me me! Pick me! I was in a previous life until 3 years ago when i went out on disability. I still provide consults and an on the Emergency response team for New York.
This right here is why I refused to tell my therapist the title when I had a copy of the Peaceful Pill. She actually didn't know I had it until after the fact. I had it secretly but I felt guilty for having told her I got rid of everything, so I got rid of it and then told her I had it in the first place. It was the way she was asking about the title that threw me off.

I specialize in infectious diseases and worked for the Department of Health. We have a terrorist attack I get called to wrap and tag bodies and prevent a public health crises.
I got caught. People in the job I work at now know. But in my industry, it's considered common.
I want your job. I'd love to work with the dead. I thought about studying mortuary science but was ultimately turned off by the somewhat predatory nature of the funeral industry.

No you don't. I'm a 9/11 First Responder dying (not fast enough) from 9/11 related illnesses. PTSD from my job will probably eventually kill me.

I think that it's highly likely. Statistically, with the hundreds of members here, there have to be at least a few (or more).

I am a 9/11 First Responder. When I got sick, I gave up social work full time (I now do consults and am in the emergency response team) and went full time into music. ;)

Damn. I bet you have stories on stories on stories. I cannot imagine the psychological torment you endure. And you are still trying to help people. BEAUTIFUL.

Oh, I misunderstood your post. I missed the part about the bagging and tagging being from terrorist attacks. Sorry about your PTSD. That condition super sucks.
I was going to go into crime scene cleanup until someone pointed out the possibility of having to deal with bits of children. That was it for me. It would have been my undoing. I can understand how you would be really traumatized by that event. I have a coworker who escaped from the north tower and he seems kind of screwed up.

Thank you SO much for what you've done and the help you've provided people, even tho it was at your own expense.
I'm so sorry you're suffering but it sounds like you were a guardian angel for people. I'm sorry for your personal pain thoughAnd same lol. Probably literally
