ginger beer
Don’t feel, tame anxiety with rituals
Don’t talk, family secrets
Eat cookies, read a book
Adults in the real world are weird, characters in books
make sense
The mantra of her childhood
Don’t feel, therapeutic boundaries, vicarious
trauma
Don’t talk, confidentiality
Drink coffee, have a donut
People can be evil, monsters in books are
safer
The mantra of her therapist training
Don’t feel, embrace the wellness
program
Don’t talk, never bring up organizational
problems
Drink the corporate Kool-Aid
Real whistleblowers never get promoted, they are heroes
in books
The mantra of her administrators
guidebook
Feel everything
Talk about what you want
Drink wine on the beach
Books are still amazing, but don’t replace family and
friends
The mantra of retirement will be
different
