I took a required training course today that I'd been DREADING.
The last time I took it, I was appalled at the approach.
I'll spare you the gory details, suffice to say it was an exercise in
limiting liability to the EMPLOYER at the expense of everyone else's
dignity.
The class today was taught with a Person Centered approach,
using Anger management and conflict avoidance techniques
that are actually applicable in the REAL world.
(Insert HAPPY Dance, here.)
Most of the folks in the class were younger by a generation,
and I have to say, very refreshing in their honesty
and self awareness.
The instructor covered difficult ground with humor and self reflexive
prompts to allow us to speak of diversity and stress
in ways that I found freeing and instructive.
We discussed our own triggers for anxiety and how that might
influence our consumers.
I am so thrilled to be working with this agency.
Hope your Saturday was educational and Fun, as well!
Namaste.
