dear diary,

I just wanted to write: I have had my workplace wellbeing contract supplier set me up with 4 sessions of counselling. I don't really think it's useful. All they ask is 'how does that make you feel'. That's not useful to me. Any person can do that. An AI can do that. I get there's that whole thing of holding space, but it doesn't affect anything. I know all of the issues. there isn't an issue about me not talking. The issue is not listening. It's not a therapist who will help. It's the lack of a 5.5% rate increase at work, its the nepotism that is being unchallenged even though the people implementing it say they are all for improving diversity.
