Catrin, this just proves my current theory on the intelligence level of most people. Oy. Sorry you had to endure this. I am mostly like Pax, I go calm and cold in an emergency and get very business like and efficient. Of course, I've never been in a shooting, but people are often surprised that i am so calm. On the other hand, I get anxious at more normal things...
Talking about my teaching practice above made me feel good; I did a lot with those kids and it was mostly fun. This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and one of my former colleagues posted a tribute to exceptional educators on FB. I was tagged; while I don't regret my career change at all, I still feel pretty bonded to those people. I also have been building quite a few teachers into my practice, which I am really enjoying. They all are in counseling for very different reasons, but a lot of it is work related.
