 A while back I read this article in the Huffington Post, but I keep coming back to it because it really resonated with me. It explores the concept of leaving a job 'well', whether that is due to a career change, redundancy or retirement.
When I left a legal career to pursue a career in psychotherapy, it would have been easy to polarise the two (psychotherapy as the 'good' career and my former life as a lawyer the 'evil'). But for me a big part of 'leaving well' has been to recognise how invaluable the skills of a lawyer can be, and what a flight of fantasy the concept of 'good' and 'evil' can be! Have a read of this interesting article and let me know what you think - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frederick-w-schmidt/on-retiring-and-changing-jobs-leaving-well-as-a_b_7442014.html Chris Warren-Dickins BACP Registered Counsellor E: chris@exploretransform.com T: 07816681154 W: www.exploretransform.com Comments are closed.
