90% of my #careercoach and #psychologist's replies are:
"Well but how do *you* feel about it?"
"Practice reflecting on situations where you felt inadequate, notice when old feelings come up and why. Do positive #selftalk."

I'm feeling lost and damaged today. my part-time psychologist canceled yesterday, then canceled today. then canceled tomorrow too. I asked if she could add me via zoom later today and then I got kind of a bitchy text back

It also used the particularly cruel "double tap" method, where they later retarget a location they already hit, which falls hard on rescue personnel trying their best to save the wounded
