What I refuse to accept about work

Last Friday, in What am I afraid of at work?, I wrote about the first work-themed therapy homework assignment I’d done in a while.

The TL;DR is that I’m very afraid of my colleagues. I’m afraid of other writers, other readers, and everyone who I have to work with to get anything worth doing done in this life.

Progress update: As of the first draft of this writing, I haven’t responded to any of the thoughtful, kind comments on that post. Room for improvement remains.

My second work-related therapy assignment was to think about this question: What about work am I refusing to accept that’s getting in the way of the life I want to live? (It relates to the Acceptance and Commitment therapy framework.)
