“The tiniest hole in the dam can make the whole thing explode, and that’s what happens with trauma,” says British-Iranian journalist Sahar Zand.
With a childhood that included being smuggled across borders as her family tried to escape political persecution, Zand thought she had developed all the coping mechanisms she would need in her career.
The award-winning journalist has worked on stories in some of the most dangerous countries in the world, including Afghanistan where, on assignment in 2015, she witnessed a suicide attack.
Despite feeling fear initially, Zand says she didn’t think she would be affected in the long-term.
