((((Echoes))))) I know that trapped feeling. Where you cant stay where you are, yet you cant move forward, it is waaaaay too scary. But you did the right thing to take good care of yourself and to move maybe in baby steps forward by seeing T today. I love that she validated how you felt and named your feelings in such a non-judgemental way and accepted you as you are today. And then you can accpet where you are today at this moment. When T does that for me, I feel so much more peaceful. That "its OK to be me" sounds so simple, but we just done seem to get there on our own. For now, we need T to give us permission. And permission to change jobs if one doesnt seem to be what we want. Permission to change our minds!

I also wonder when ftt comes up with these simple things why I didnt think of that? But, I guess it is because it does not even occur to me to give myself the permission and self-care that changing my mind would entail. But you can, we can, its all OK, Echoes. You can just think in baby steps in that direction if you need to. YOu dont have to make any changes today...or even tomorrow. Just some thinkin'

T sounds amazing...and so are YOU!
