On Comyn Ground

Defaulting on the Emotional Contract


Listen Later

On Thursday last, after seven online meetings on four different platforms, followed by a 2-hour night class - I tried to sit and eat some food - and bang, a wave of anxiety washed over me.  We're resilient, robust, strong, brave, creative.  But we're also running out of steam, becoming weary and exhausted."When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves"—that's a quote from Viktor Frankl, an Austrian Holocaust survivor, neurologist, psychiatrist and author.  He went on to say: Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted the first time wrongly. These are testing times - testing for those without work or a prospect of it - it's also a testing time for those in work where their emotional contract has been defaulted on by those who lead them.
