It is killing me.

by Kim
(Saint Paul, MN)

I work in an out patient program for mental health. The therapists are gaming, controling, and mean. There is 5th grade behavior about parties and events. They are always diagnosing everyone including each other. It is hostile and everyday I go home overwhelmed and tired. Sad part... I can't see my way out.

by: Erika Harris

Kim,

I know how draining it is to endure work situations that don't serve you. My encouragement for you is this -- a reminder, really, of something I'm sure you already know: Pain can serve us by promoting our growth. And as we become more intolerant of the discomfort, it can propel us to enlightened action.

The irony, though, is that Joy is an equally effective teacher. I'm learning that, albeit not as quickly as I'd like.

I hope you soon find, or create, a work environment that delights your soul. You deserve no less.

Love,
Erika
