Post No. 2,814 - Recovering from a corporate life - Episode 31: coming to terms with past imperfections

For anyone distressed by anything in this post, or for any other reason considering seeking support, resources are available in Australia here, here, and here. In other nations, you will have to do an Internet search using terms such as “mental health support - <your nation>” (which, for instance, may lead to this, this, and this, in the USA, or this, this, and this, in France [biased towards English-language - my apologies]), or perhaps try https://www.befrienders.org/.  

Posts in this series are now listed at https://gnwmythr.blogspot.com/p/recovering-from-corporate-life.html. 

PS - expect these to be eddited fairly often. Writing these is part of the healing process, and will bring up more insights,etc.

So ... one of the things I have planned on as part of my recovery from a corporate life was getting counselling if needed, and I have just had my first session - I actually got put on a waiting list some time ago, but they could only fit me in now. 

In essence, this was about me reviewing past DEI / human rights abuses and wondering if I could have done more ... 

One aspect that came out of the session (the rest of it was personal) was the importance of not judging one’s action from the point of view of what one knows and can do now. That was useful (and led to me writing this poem about my worst ever boss), as were other aspects of the session, and I am now prepared to celebrate - or at east acknowledge - the good that I managed to accomplish in my former day job. 

I still won’t be specific about what it was (especially on LinkedIn), as I am no longer registered and am doing no CPD (meaning I legally cannot express any opinion on any matter related to that career), but I am no longer shutting all of it out - only the bad bits.

Blessed be.

I am writing this series in the hope that it will contribute to a better understanding - or at least better research into the effects of - the so-called developed world’s economic systems - which are based on the world-destroying amathia of perpetual growth, and patriarchal oligarchical capitalism expressed as often expressed corporatism and neoliberalism.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
