Good question. Funny enough, I rarely have bad dreams since learning how to deal with trauma. And I work in emergency medicine, so I probably have some trait that makes me better suited than most for the darker professions. Unfortunately, we need people who study such things. I like psychology in general, but found that I'm pretty good at studying these types of minds for some reason. I'm able to ask thoughtful questions that most don't get to because they can't pass what I call the monster wall. There's a vast unknown world beyond that wall that I think will answer a lot of questions and help protect humans from the predators among us.
I could go on and on about this, but in general, I've been able to deal with some pretty messed up stuff. It does alter you though. I've experienced things where it was a critical moment in my life. There was the Matt before, and the Matt after. We do have to be careful though because it can get out of control. It happens frequently in these sorts of careers.
