Hi Thomas, and thank you for your care. I have thought of having that conversation, and have tried a small one twice, I found the last one to be not useful and afterwards realizing I had been gas lit. This person has that clever, subtle art of putting a person “in their place” with innuendos and other remarks. You know how some people just have that talent for being that A-hole in a “I really am helpful for you” way. I now choose to stand back and see if their subtle art of a-holeness will be their demise.

Hello Alessa, I appreciate your care. Yes, I admit my triggers are being awakened. I really do need to see a counselor about it all. You think you have healed from things until someone with similar characteristics arrives. Being told I am not doing my job and am not trusted equates to being called stupid in that other life.
Yes, I am very much on top of my administrative duties, and our audit comes around in August and thankfully I have handled it well every year. I was handling everything just fine, and recently two of my duties got taken away from me, as though I am not handling them. I tried to fight for them back, as they are a definitive part of the program I run. It did not matter.
Thank you

Hello Roberta and thank you for your thoughts,
It is most frustrating when person centered care is not being what it needs to be, as I believe wholeheartedly that person centered care applies to the whole team of care/counselors/providers, in an ideal world, we want to be a true community.
Unfortunately, the people above my manager/director are only a couple of very elderly county commissioners who do not believe in mental health. I truly feel my director is driven by her own agendas which in my opinion are highly skewed and often demeaning. I am hopeful to be a part of a human resources interview to be conducted on behalf of our agency that will happen in relation to my coworker who was put on disciplinary leave.
