Hey, I really get what an accomplishment it is to manage your emotions when they are overwhelming. I frequently tell my therapist of wins where I'm like "a year ago this would have totally sent me into a rage, and today it's just annoying." So I get it. But your boss and coworkers aren't there to validate your emotional wins.
But we are. So you can come here and tell us, and we will validate and celebrate your success in managing your emotions while at work.
