Have you thought about utilizing the skills of a coach?
Perhaps you have a counselor or a mentor, but do you have a coach? A coach recognizes that you are whole, you are creative, and within you the resources to cope. A coach provides a safe space and relationship in which you can reflect, share, and discuss things in life and in work that are important to you. You get an opportunity to clarify goals and actions that can move you forward. All coaching sessions are confidential.
