another day begins

yeah, up early on a sunday morning to head into work to do trauma informed care training... on one level, you'd think only a licensed therapist should be training about the details of a therapeutic concept... on another level, it would be nice if a person's knowledge and experience is respected enough to be trusted without government stamps of approval or even educational certificates... in this case, neither is evident and i am doing the training because nobody else wants to wake up to do a sunday morning training and the weekend and night staff deserve the training and the kids deserve the weekend and night staff trained properly... and lucky for everyone, i have the knowledge and experience to do that...

i prefer not to, officially, because it puts me in the position of being vulnerable to an insecure clinician or administrator challenging me on credentials and my license in risk management does not require aq master level degree and is questionable, technically, as an academically valid clinical license... politics and power trips are the bane of optimal care and service, but that's life among humans who are, whether naturally or unnaturally, self-destructive...

time to head out the door now, hi ho :)
