The world is full of difficult, not-so-nice people.
I've had the opportunity to work with many over the years at various jobs.
One that comes to mind is a manager I had at Casey's General Stores where I worked in the kitchen.
Her supervisory skills sucked. Her people skills were even worse.
I'd tell myself each day that it was X amount of hours that day I would be around her, and the rest of the day without!
I knew that job wasn't forever, and I reminded myself of that too!
I worked hard at not letting her take up space in my head rent-free.
I stayed active in my recovery through AA.
I read the Big Book a lot-especially the sections on resentment.
My back eventually went south on me. I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, and was subsequently fired because I could no longer do the heavy lifting required for my position.
A few months later that manager put her resignation in, and gave a month's notice. Apparently corporate had been unhappy with her a long time and fired her the day after she put in her resignation.
We all have consequences for our actions/behaviors. If I pay the electric bill on time, I have electricity! That's a good consequence!
Somewhere along the way, that counselor will have consequences too.
Try to be the bigger person and get something out of your remaining sessions
in spite of her.
