Basically feel done with being isolated invisible and having no autonomy of professional identity. My role tot is half “ Communications Lead” in coming up to two years in this role. It’s awful pay in non profit but the only role I could find quickly when coming back from Australia to the uk. I am creative at heart, like dealing with people and yet these roles I feel ignored and looked down on it’s broken my spirit.

Help :( I am so done making someone else’s life, I feel invisible and looked down on. I’m good a comms but feel like I’m past my prime at 33

Literally what roles can we actually apply for ???

Ummmm dang

I find I go through fight flight fawn with bosses I find it extremely intolerable ! Why is this ?!!

I’ve been trying to understand where how or why the pit of emptiness persists in us and for so long. I do so much to try fill the void but it creeps back and I end up just staring at a wall when I’m empty like I can’t get motivated or do anything! It’s a numbness

I am done being the one people look down on but then suddenly need in an emergency, I’m done having no authority or voice in the room but just the invisible labour chick. I am done making someone else’s dream happen and sacrificing building anything for my self. I am desperate to easily pivot into a new role out of EA any advice appreciated…. 😣 (8 years experience EA to CEO’s across media corporate and non profit)

Can someone please help me understand the hysteric personality structure better? Thank you !

😅😅😅

People have such divided opinions about this so wondering if we can discuss here

I’ve worked both internationally and in London as an EA across media and now health but at 33 I feel overlooked and with such little autonomy. I never feel that my skills are appreciated and feel like a dogsbody in any role I’ve had. I’ve also worked across communications but recruiters in London see EA to CEO and when I’ve mentioned i feel ready to pivot out they just keep sending me EA roles with rather difficult sounding C suites and I’ve been traumatised enough if I’m honest!

This is maybe the wrong Reddit chat but could anyone help with any advice or anything on how to move out of this area of work? I feel so demoralised I’m also seen as” just the assistant “ when I’ve worked so hard and it feels like .. for what .. thanks guys x

I left being a media EA and intentionally switched to being an EA in a psychotherapy training and clinical organisation however I feel anxious that I won’t pass the MSc or that I’m a failure to be back learning again having only been an EA to CEO’s my whole career. Should I give it a try ? I am embarrassed of my current career and feel so looked down on and need more mental stimulation and a clear professional identity - I truly feel so aligned in helping others

I just came back from a third date. The guy seems really intelligent and a gentleman until we slept together and he said to me after sleeping together. “You’ve got such a pretty face” he proceeded to rub my lower belly pooch in sort of what look like disbelief. For the record I have lost 3 and a half stone and so there is inevitable loose lower belly skin so it droops down a little bit. I could tell he was put off by this and now I feel so much embarrassment and shame. I can’t afford skin removal or tummy tuck. I guess some men will be surprised but I don’t know how to keep dating when each time I wonder if the guy will see me strip naked and be disappointed or disgusted :(

what a shame to lose such a famous institution if so ! Can anyone give insight please?

Is anyone donating? Apparently the Tavistock Relationships website has a support us donate page.

I’ve now left took a pay cut and work in non profit due to how fake performative and brutal corporate is. It’s like a dysfunctional family with awful power imbalances and scapegoating - pure hell for us

Are there any key signifiers ? Thanks

I’ve just had a fun weekend for my birthday with lovely friends who have told me they love me and celebrated me. But now I’m back home alone suddenly it’s as if the compliments didn’t exist, the assumption people just pretend to like me is so real….. I feel I’m the runt of the litter among friends, the one that doesn’t have much going for her and has not done well…. I am so paranoid that my dearest friends are just there to put up with me… can anyone relate?!

Has anyone completed this training and could you share how you experienced it?

I’ve heard very good and ….. very bad things about the training but have been offered a place and I am hoping to find people have done the course so I can get some insider perspectives. It sounds extremely academic with very harsh marking … which is understandable given the the level.

I’d love to hear from anyone who knows about this course. Thank you

The small talk is unbearable !!!!!!!

Love to hear more…
