I've been doing the work in therapy to develop a growth mindset

but so far, the only thing that's grown is my therapist's billable hours

I told my therapist I've been struggling to practice self-compassion

So she charged me extra for being mean to myself during the session

I suggested replacing our daily stand-up meeting with a simple email update,

but my manager said that would undermine the 'synergy' we create by all staring at each other in silence for 15 minutes.

I told my therapist I'm struggling with self-care

So she prescribed me a 10-minute morning meditation, which I've been putting off for weeks
