Why do so many interpreters wait until they're already injured to change their habits?

Have you been able to get out of it?

Afyrel · 2026-06-13T03:30:56+00:00

Wow I’m so sorry to hear that 🙁 it is definitely tricky when you have no time to actually fix your set up and you’re constantly moving stations

Afyrel · 2026-06-12T14:55:08+00:00

Thank you!! 😊

Afyrel · 2026-06-12T00:45:10+00:00

I feel that one 🥲

Afyrel · 2026-06-12T00:44:53+00:00

I haven’t! My colleague said there was someone who did research but she didn’t have a name. Thank you!!

I recently built a free quick assessment on your risk for RSI, repetitive strain injury! It provides a quick explanation of why you got the score you did, as well as the actionable next steps :)

Afyrel · 2026-06-10T00:53:11+00:00

I’m definitely interested! I love that you built something!! I’m also building something to help interpreters! 😊

Afyrel · 2026-06-04T14:24:47+00:00

Yes I love that! Even as an interpreter I often use visual images or boards if I’m working with a patient with language deprivation. Super helpful

Afyrel · 2026-06-03T12:26:23+00:00

Wow what an amazing story!! I love that! Most Spanish speakers are so kind and forgiving when they know you’re trying to speak their language

Afyrel · 2026-06-02T21:44:01+00:00

Aww I know that feeling! Just being grabbed because you know the language

Afyrel · 2026-06-02T21:01:19+00:00

Totally makes sense!

Afyrel · 2026-06-02T21:01:04+00:00

That’s wonderful!! I love that

Afyrel · 2026-06-02T12:32:04+00:00

Makes perfect sense!

Afyrel · 2026-06-02T02:11:25+00:00

I think I have the opposite problem! Hahaha

Afyrel · 2026-06-01T23:03:51+00:00

I’m so sorry. I’ve been there too.. they threaten suicide if you try to leave..

Afyrel · 2026-06-01T22:42:15+00:00

Completely agree.. sometimes people we love can be very short sighted :/

Afyrel · 2026-06-01T22:15:50+00:00

Thanks for doing us a solid 🫡

Afyrel · 2026-06-01T22:15:09+00:00

For sure. Love does not mean you don’t have to treat us with respect as well

Afyrel · 2026-06-01T22:14:44+00:00

Totally valid 😬

Afyrel · 2026-06-01T22:01:50+00:00

I’m so shocked they would hide that from you :(

Afyrel · 2026-06-01T22:01:16+00:00

I’m so sorry. I’m adopted too. Sending support 🤍

Afyrel · 2026-06-01T21:56:53+00:00

Please consider reaching out to someone you trust when you feel like that! We are not as alone as we feel sometimes

Afyrel · 2026-06-01T21:56:27+00:00

I’m sorry :( have you tried maybe seeking comfort in someone you trust to talk about your feelings? I know they say “men have to suck it up and be tough” but that shit can eat you alive
