Challenges and Solutions
Challenges come along with each and every job. The most difficult part of a challenge is how to overcome it. Some difficulties one encounters due to my job are the feeling of distress, and the possibility of exposure to the contaminants from evidence. To begin with, the feeling of distress comes along with the sights of disturbing evidence. One can feel very anxious due to this. There are multiple ways to overcome such obstacles by developing a nurturing voice, grounding yourself, and keeping your focus in the present moment. Distress is psychological, hence the solution also has to be psychological. Developing a nurturing voice and comforting yourself will calm one down. Grounding yourself and focusing on the moment itself will stop one from thinking about how much worse the situation can be. All in all, distress can be avoided and solved using multiple methods.
