Really nice piece on emotionally demanding research (EDR) and the toll it takes. It also helps when you have supportive colleagues @__GeorgiaTurner help you navigate EDRs.
Research on topics such as child sexual abuse can be emotionally demanding in ways that surpass many other lines of work. There are ways to prepare and protect researchers before and during these projects. Amy Burrell et al. @UoB_SoP
