About this listen

In this episode, we hear Sunny’s story—a therapist and military veteran who took her first civilian job at a civil commitment center for sexual offenders, hoping to grow as a clinician by working with a challenging population. Instead, she found herself in a toxic workplace filled with traumatic experiences, overwhelming demands, and unrealistic demands from leadership. From being forced to process her trauma in front of abusers to enduring severe burnout and a lack of support, Sunny’s journey reveals the emotional toll of working in such an environment. Ultimately, she shares how she found the strength to walk away, rebuild her confidence, and prioritize her well-being, offering valuable insights for anyone struggling in a toxic workplace.
