26th September - Omar session + Headout Day 1
Had such an amazing and cathartic session with Omar.
- We looked back at and appreciated the journey I've been on this year.
- He gave me the external validation I needed - what I felt was real. My pain was real. What I went through was indeed emotional abuse.
Omar said that abusive people need to do a lot of work to change. But I did see change in Nelson, especially in the Jan 21 - Jun 21 chats and how he was when I interacted with him at the wedding.
I pray that Nelson has indeed changed. And if he hasn't, I pray that Shivani is strong enough to overcome what I couldn't, since she is older and wiser.
My key take-aways are:
- Trust in your own feelings. Don't self-doubt.
- The only way to process these feelings is to go through them. It is okay to cry and complain and do all of those things.
THIS WAS SUCH A CATHARTIC SESSION! THANK YOU OMAR! YOU ARE THE BEST!
Headout Day 1:
It started out a little boring, but then as I spoke to Parth and looked at the work we do, it seemed a lot more interesting! I am quite excited to see what is up in my role.
I am a little worried about lifestyle, about the working with people who are not McKinsey level and about doing meaningful work, but let us see!
I am not sure what Parth wanted from me. When does he want the project to be done by? I need to find out. I could rush and do the stuff now, but I do not want to set expectations that I will struggle to fulfill.
