My therapist and I had scheduled one work related session a week. We created a list of strategies to try to improve my productivity.
I had some interest in trying to discover why I was working so hard to self sabotage. But my therapist said it didn't really matter. That the important part was that since I felt tied to my job by golden handcuffs, I needed to accept that this *was* my job and I was going to stay here. And since I was going to stay here, I needed to get my work done no matter what the underlying feelings were. I needed to accept my life and make the best of it.
That made good sense to me. So armed with the list of recommendations about how to improve my productivity, I decided to do away with the work related sessions while I tried the recommendations and focussed myself on doing my work no matter what.
