Praise

First thing I drove to Holywell Hospital for a blood test with an overly brusque phlebotomist, so treated myself to Avocado and eggs on sourdough at Sainsburys. 

It was nice to get out of my pyjamas, but I was tired out by lunchtime, so I had  small nap before supervision

Every two weeks I meet with a specially trained senior supervisor to discuss my clients 

Supervision is ..

 "A specialised form of mentoring provided for practitioners responsible for undertaking challenging work with people. Supervision is provided to ensure standards, enhance quality, advance learning, stimulate creativity, and support the sustainability and resilience of the work being undertaken."

I enjoy supervision

Today my supervisor shared something with me as I was discussing a somewhat challenging client. 
“ You’ve changed “  she observed simply 
The comment took me by surprise so much that I went quiet 
“ You are becoming an effective counsellor “ she added with a gentle smile

And suddenly I was a child again, thrilled at some much craved for praise and acceptance “

  1. What have we all been telling you? Well done and well deserved praise.
    Hope the bug is dissipating, and glad Weaver will have to stick to cat food, not human flesh! xx

    Ah, praise is sweet music to your ears! All the sweeter since you've felt so awful in recent days. Applause!
    Hope you could taste the Sainsburys food as that could be a sx of recovery!?

    Hugs!
