Mystery Zoom 101
This new year was off to a rough start.I discovered that I was not only suffering from PTSD but to add to that, vicarious trauma. The vicarious trauma was being brought on from the toxic environment at work. At my place of employment I witnessed a fellow coworker die on the premise, while I was on break. Not only that, his shrine was surrounding my desk. I had to relive the trauma from that night everyday. My therapist suggested that I take a medical leave. I had a gut feeling that was not going to be enough. I felt like I was putting a bandage on an open head wound. I was already having the conversation with my husband about quitting. His solution was to have me retire in the next 16 YEARS! That just didn’t seem realistic to me. So I decided that I would just quit altogether. I was already approaching 12 years with the company and I couldn’t see myself doing another 16 years on top of that. So the next day I quit and I experienced a rush of pure bliss. I was no longer chained to a company that was literally draining my life.
