What happens to someone who goes into a social work career who hasn’t adequately dealed with her own personal trauma?

Like she wants to specialize in working with children and that’s where most of her trauma occurred

I'm sure this is fairly common. I would suggest talking to someone who is currently working in the field to see what he/she says about that. A lot of people who get into those professions had to deal with issues earlier in life.
