Jason is honestly the epitome of class and respect. He could have easily bashed Becca but instead he said he wanted to be her friend. Now THAT is a gentleman #bachelorette#MenTellAll
For years I was completely detached from life.
I called it: being on my spaceship.
How I Got Out Of Dissociation:
I feel into a pattern of dissociating at a young age. I would look like I was there, but I was lost in my my mind. Numb. And a million miles away.
It wasn't until my partner said to me "are you really here?" when I realized my lack of presence was known.
I'd always wondered why I lacked memories.
I had almost no memories of my childhood and when friends brought up things I just couldn't remember the way they did.
At one point I thought I had a rare brain disorder (no joke.)
Finally, I started studying functional freeze. Most people have heard of fight or flight. Freeze when our body becomes dissociated to stay safe.
We're physically present but mentally gone.
Getting out of my dissociated state meant pattern interruptions. Getting out of autopilot...
I started a morning routine of journaling.
Next, I created a conscious check in. One time of day where I was fully in my body. Nothing all smells, sounds, and sensations around me. I had to teach myself it was safe to be in the moment. I still teach this 7 years later in @selfhealerscirc
Next, I prioritized sleep and nutrition. I put myself to bed really and woke up early. We're more likely dissociate when our body is low on resources. Which is why sleep and nutrition are key in healing this pattern.
If you dissociate, you're not alone. You do not have a disorder. Your body its trying to protect you.
You can come out of the frozen state and start to live again with small steps every day.

Emotionally immature parents are very hard to talk to.
It's difficult to have a direct conversations with them because they shut down or over-react.
Here's You Need to Know:
Maybe it's the drive thru windows, adding more tasks without taking any away, metrics that don't actually matter/lead to improved patient care?
Whatever it is, academia better figure it out...and fast.
I love collecting data when talking to students. Recently I presented at a school and asked what area of pharmacy interested them most. Their responses were glaring. Despite being the FIRST option in a list of 4 (with free-text "other" being the 5th option), NOT A SINGLE student chose Community. Props to the student who free-texted "Cost-plus" though!
I really think academia has to intervene as reality will eventually hit: the biggest employer is community and 50% or more of students settling for a careeer that doesn't interest them (as this data suggests these students will have to do - there will not be enough hospital and industry jobs to employ everyone) is a quick recipe for disaster. [Exceptional] Students will stop enrolling for schools if they can't get a job that aligns with their interests.
This response is not unique to this school. I've heard directly from students of multiple schools that community is frowned upon; even some using the phrase "discouraged". Schools have to take a stand against the problems facing community pharmacy; and this stand cannot just be adding new "clinical" services. Dispensing can and should be clinical!
Also, we as community pharmacists have to start making our jobs appealing again. PBM drama, more and more tasks without eliminating, accepting $0 dispensing fee contracts will not cut it!
