Scenario

When helping someone in an emergency feels traumatic for both people

Everyone says I should feel good about helping but I keep thinking about how scared that little girl looked when I was doing first aid on her.

What we've seen

Emergency interventions can be experienced as additional trauma by those receiving help, complicating the helper's sense of having done good.
