    I'm a social worker- a professional people pleaser/caretaker. I have loved it for 26 years, but also a workaholic and used it to avoid my own stuff. In December I was fired from my job after 26 years for a minor mistake that could not be overlooked. I had always prided myself as being such a good social worker and the reinforcement that I got from others. My career was my identity and suddenly I lost it. Slowly I have worked significantly on this and am finally feeling like I am someone other than that, and decided to not return to full-time caretaking. Today's podcast was excellent.

    "Your job doesn't have to be your passion, your job can facilitate your passion." Brilliant! So true!
    I like to play guitar, but my "job" facilitates those outside interests, and I find extensive pleasure in paying my bills AND playing guitar.

    If you could have Brene Brown as a guest, I’d probably lose my shit! I think you both provide immense value and the combo would be incredible.

    You guys just summarized in 20min the subject I have been talking to my therapist about, for the last 3 sessions. Thank you, and thanks to Jessica for asking such a complex question that many of us deal with.

    Oh my goodness...I'm about a third of the way through this, and I'm a self-care sort of person, but in the past 6 years dealt with a lot of death, estate handling, etc. for 4 people. Overwhelmed, doesn't even come CLOSE to describing it.
    Jen's Pithy Answer: Stop the imaginary view of urgency.
    Take a step back, and then move forward, one step at a time. If you view yourself and others as divine, it's much easier to slow down, and treat yourself and others with greater respect.
    Okay that last bit wasn't very pithy. 🙄 Love these discussions.

    Wow, didn’t realize how much needed some Nathanson today - went straight to “c’mon get higher” and then; back here to hear and so identify with Jessica - algorithm or otherwise, I’m thankful for channel 🙏📿💛

    I've been working on my people pleasing with family members for awhile, and it's quite a balancing act. I've learned that it's okay to let others deal with their own disappointment from a choice that I have made and it's okay for me to work through the disappointment that I feel when a family member makes decisions that work for them. I know that I used to do whatever someone asked of me and then feel bitter and resentful and think, "How could they do this to me! Can't they see that what they are asking of me is a real strain on me?" I've learned it's better to work through disappointing someone or being disappointed than being bitter and resentful.

    Referring to the part where you were talking about not reliving things every day, if you have PTSD you can't help it, you're brain takes over and forces you to relive things until you eventually (if ever) work through it. It sucks.
    Edited for spelling error.

    LOL I don’t think Josh stopped listening to CDs in the late 80s. 😆It was the late 90s at best.

    Lovely stuff, but I don't think the brain is like, literally, like a sledgehammer (that would be a very unique brain!) ;)
