Therapy does work

Posted by Dinah on April 9, 2007, at 18:16:40

My therapist has been coaching me to learn how to say no for many many years. I've never been particularly good at it. My guilt buttons are easy to press.
But since Wednesdays' meltdown, I've been saying no all over the place at work. I'm polite and even warm but firm and implacable. My coworker literally cheered me today. :) How often do you get a cheer at work?
I don't know how long it will last, but I guess I figured at this point, it really makes no difference. If I don't say no to some stuff, I'm going to very soon say no to everything. If I'm thisclose to quitting what difference does it make if I refuse to take on more than I am already overwhelmed doing.
