Does anyone have experience they can share regarding the Order of St. Luke. I’m referring specifically to the ecumenical and dispersed order not the Order of St. Luke Physician that focuses on healing ministries. I know the order was founded by Methodists, but now appears to include a significant number of Episcopalians and Lutherans.
It took two years of therapy for me to process the trauma I experienced after two decades of teaching (assaults, gun violence, etc,) and overcome issues with rage and anger. I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress and knew it was time to leave the classroom when I landed at a great school with great kids, but my mind and body were still reacting as if I were in a war zone. I taught myself data analytics and eventually landed a remote job working for a market research firm about three years ago. I was finally free! I can’t describe the relief I experienced controlling my own life again … at least until now. I was recently let go by my company and the job market is shit right now. I looked for months - nothing. Now, I’m back in the classroom just to pay my bills, and hating my life once again. Trying to find a way out. I haven’t given up, but my optimism is fading. I feel like every time I get away from teaching I get sucked back in. Thoughts and prayers and welcome. Thanks for reading.
