Tyrell is a middle-career social worker who describes increasing dissatisfaction in his work life. While at the agency, he finds himself avoiding contact with the people he serves and thinking resentfully about his clients and their neediness. Tyrell is personally experiencing a number of difficulties: sleep disturbances, persistent fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. He feels unproductive at work and at home. Tyrell works with a population at increased risk for trauma in a very demanding practice environment. He feels he has little say over his clients' treatment plans or the direction of the agency, which together is enhancing a sense of helplessness related to his work. He has found his work emotionally demanding in the past, but he never had any difficulty finding the motivation to continue working hard in service of his clients. Lately, however, it feels impossible, and Tyrell is worried that he no longer has "what it takes" to be a social worker.
