Yes, locked out again. I guess being locked out is meant to toughen us up in order to deal with the rejection we face at home! Thanks Michelle I've changed my "subject" heading, I don't really talk about the Goddess of Perfection (OP) much anymore. I thought I'd go to where my thoughts tend to be. Pushing this sitch to the limits, you know "to go where no LBS has ever gone before...." or is that too Trekkie sounding? (I'm not one, I swear).
I'm really kind of up this weekend. I have been looking into Solution Focused therapy and am really excited. No, not for my M but for my job! I am in the helping profession and work in a field with a target population that is considered quite unmotivated and stuck in their "unhappy places". So, counsellors tend to burn out or give up. Since reading DB/DR I have recognized how this could really make an impact on the client group I work with. So, I have been scouring the internet, ordering books and putting together plans for using this in my work. Rather than focusing on people's problems and their "lack", it pushes the focus to what they are doing right and looking towards doing more of it. Exciting stuff. I have found a Certificate course at our local University and am going to discuss the idea of taking it with my W. It's pretty much a six weekend course through the year and can be stretched to two years. It's no major time consumer. This would be most exciting for me work wise and also would be another 180 for me. My W is very motivated to do well in her career, I'm happy to just go along day to day, making the best of whatever comes along. This would be a step forward for me. Even if I don't pursue this (money reasons or whatever) it is adding an exciting element to my work. There's always something out there to make this life the amazing experience it really is. Wish me luck, guys!
