Journal Prompts:
The prompts. There are two.

1) WORK WITH AND ADDRESS THE PROJECTION

*Ask your inner child, - how do you want to be seen by your job?

What’s the fantasy or wish around being valued more or maybe left alone.

Do you maybe want your job to make better decisions that you suggested?

Do you maybe want the place to admit how crappy it is..some truth?

Do you want them to see your real value or understand your work difficulty?

Do you maybe want them to fail or receive some karma?

Could any of the answers you come up with be applied to your parents from growing up?


2) How to make the present better?

A journaling prompt for this one is – how can you – the adult, not the inner child, make the relationship with your job smaller and or more emotionally manageable?

For example, every boss I’ve had, either in profession jobs or say restaurant managers came and went in my life. Before I made significant progress in therapy, they would trigger the mess out of me, and I’d lose sleep, but the reality is…they are just bozos on the bus in our life and all those relationships had expiration dates to them.

Does your inner child need help from you in making that relationship more right sized?

Your boss isn’t your spouse or your kids or family, and at the end of the day, they don’t matter at all in the grand emotional scheme of things.

In addition, if you are really stuck around employment, you the adult can ask your inner child, what do they need about the job?

Do they want you the adult to find something different? Do they want you the adult to speak up for them around work boundaries? Are they scared about doing something else?

Or do they not believe there is something better in store for them if it’s bad?
