Parentified in the Helping Professions

It makes sense to me that a lot of parentified individuals ended up going into the field of helping professions. Is it because they actually enjoy it or is it because that is all they know?

Nobody talks about the weird transitional periods that you will experience in life and how that will affect the rest of your life.

I never thought I would make it to my 24th birthday. Here I am still wondering how I got here.

I am still here.

Sorry I have been AFK for a bit. I have had a lot of life changes that include some adjustments. I cannot share as of right now but I should be able to in a few weeks. I cannot wait to share the news.

Self Care in the Helping Professions

Pre-COVID19, we lived in a society that was so focused on individual career progression that it was almost frowned upon taking the time you deserve (accumulated time: sick and vacation), advocating for yourself, and missing work. 

During COVID19, things were starting to change. We as a society started focusing more on mental health awareness and stigma, self care, and becoming the best versions of ourselves.

After the world opened again, I have started to advocate for myself as a person and employee, I am not afraid of taking time off from work, I try my best to focus on my self care and becoming the best version of myself. I am so proud of myself for being able to call out of work without feeling guilty.
