Emotional work is invisible work

Adriana van Altvorst 10/15/211:48 PM

Emotional work is invisible
Emotional work is just as hard as physical work
You just can't see it

Very often we are excluded or judged by others as incapable of holding down a job
Because we have moments when we can't perform when called to attention
It is NOT that we do not want to
It is very often because in that moment of time we CAN'T do it

Please do not discredit us
Please do not exclude us
Please do not judge us

Give us time and space to deal with our trauma and to heal
We can do the work
We can perform
In our time

When you see a work colleague who was able to perform but is now struggling
Reach out and say
Hey, are you OK?
What can I do to help?

I am OK - thanks to all those who have contacted me to check-in with me
Much appreciated
It does help me immensely
