I need some callouses

Posted by Adrift on July 18, 2006, at 1:12:24

It looks like all my many lotions made me all soft and sensitive, now I need to use a brillo pad!

Only example pertaining to myself is working as an RN in a jail prison parttime before going to psych. It taught me not to be sensitive to people yelling, screaming and insulting me. I learned that sometimes I just needed to walk away until the person was ready to talk or take a med or whatever. Love Phillipa

I used to picture myself as a big pink slug, unable to protect myself against anything, no shell at all. Just reacting to whatever went on around me.

That imagery doesn't come to mind as much anymore so maybe I'm growing a shell.

Oh when I used to go to court to testify in malpractice cases someone said to picture the judge and lawyers without their pants on. Weenies swinging everywhere!!!!!It worked too.
