I wonder how many midwives have also felt violated and traumatised (but not
been able to find expression) for having to partake in care of women in
hospital that has trauma as part of it - as a witness? I'm reflecting on
some really bad vibes I can remember and the (?) shame/guilt/shock (?) at
having to be witness to some of this and yet not in control of the person
who is perpetuating it. I'll have to give this some thought - it is really
disturbing me - may be an explanation for some tensions I carry.
