We had an intensive 10 hour training class on how to lead and direct a group for people with mental illness. It was extremely hard to understand and keep up with. There was an entire notebook filled with hundreds of pages and another set of pages another group of loose leaf pages. She kept skipping around and I never knew what page we were on. It was very detailed but unorganized. We were trained on exactly how to say things and to say lists of things and to point people to charts, there were 15 charts set up all around the room. They used big words that didn't make sense. Every thing was over my head. I felt confused and frustrated all day long. I was out of my element. I tried very hard but I just wasn't getting it. I felt like I was being squeezed into a box. I came home and cried. Tomorrow is day two. I will try again.
