Huh

My boss' boss is watching Ted Lasso and now is willing to voice that he thinks mental health is important. This is positive?

Anyhow, I'm writing a bullet point per month on mental health for our safety memo. The first one is the very standard "here's the employee assistance line" but it also has the https://www.askamanager.org/2021/04/interview-with-an-employee-at-an-employee-assistance-program.html link. I didn't have much turnaround time for it, and it's a good place to start.

Next step is to figure out how to get somewhat subversive about it. Not that they're opposed to mental health stuff, they just really suck at it and they're being particularly bad at managing morale lately on all levels. and there are a lot of levels.

I've been spending the weekend formulating a battle plan on how I'm going to approach the next therapist I'm attempting in such a way that I can defend myself against infantilization, contempt, or other inappropriate expressions of their own egotism in reaction to my having very specific goals for the counselling transaction. Wish me luck. This is going to be my last try, because I'm sick as hell of spending my time and money on people who claim the ability and desire to help me, but are worse for me than lurking CPTSD forums and journalling.
