Safeguarding doesn’t just live in your caseload.
It lives in your body, your sleep, your reactions, the way you brace before opening your inbox.
This episode dives into the part of safeguarding most people quietly carry without ever naming it.
The emotional toll.
If you’ve ever walked away from a concern feeling unsettled, disheartened, emotional, or just not quite yourself - you’re not imagining it.
And you’re not weak.
You’re human.
We explore why these reactions show up, how to spot them before they snowball, and what small shifts genuinely support your wellbeing in the role.
We’ve also got a simple yet impactful challenge for you - listen in to find out more!
