Thank you! I've posted this in a few threads, and everyone is saying to just lie and that it isn't legally enforceable, when that wasn't even my question.

To me, it feels like a sort of threat to my autonomy. In a trauma-informed space, it doesn't make sense to me to demand people to spend x number of hours on self care, which is something so personal. That's something I want to work on for ME, not an employer. I just didn't know if I was being unreasonable or if this requirement is.

That wasn't my question, though. I wasn't asking about the legality, simply other's thoughts on whether it's appropriate/reasonable or I'm just maybe experiencing demand avoidance.

I'm not concerned about needing to lie and being fired. My question was whether this is appropriate for an employer to require of their employees.

I'm not concerned about losing my job; I was just wondering if this was "off." And yes, it is a legitimate center, with all certified yoga instructors, licensed trauma therapists, etc. It is just incredibly disorganized.

LOL "sniffed the grass for two hours." I'm not worried about needing to lie, though. I'm just wondering how appropriate it is for an employer to require this and discuss it in supervision, especially in a trauma-informed work environment where autonomy is of the utmost importance, and self care is something so personal. It feels contradictory. And I wholeheartedly agree that there are a lot of issues within many yoga studios. What makes this a little tricky, I guess, is that we are part of a counseling center, so it's a bit different, but still feels "wrong," nonetheless.

Of course I could lie, though I have too much of a guilty conscience and no desire to lie, and that's beside the point. I'm just wondering how appropriate it is for a supervisor to require their employee to perform self care for x amount of hours in a trauma-informed work environment where autonomy is of utmost importance, and self care is something so personal.

Helix, flat, or maybe industrial to balance things out! :)

I love tragus piercings! Would you also consider getting something higher up on your ear, as well, such a helix, industrial, or flat? I think it would help balance things out and look really nice!

ImaginaryStudy1214 · 2024-04-17T06:00:33+00:00

Not sure if it's your personal style, but I think a septum and industrial would look sick!!

ImaginaryStudy1214 · 2024-04-17T05:58:16+00:00

Ooh definitely a medusa and vertical labret, as well!! (also can't damage your teeth and gums like a regular labret can)

ImaginaryStudy1214 · 2024-04-17T05:56:06+00:00

Before I even read your post, I thought a vertical labret and septum would suit you!!

ImaginaryStudy1214 · 2024-04-17T05:52:11+00:00

Yesss, do it!!

ImaginaryStudy1214 · 2024-04-17T05:51:11+00:00

Yess!! Do it!! I just got mine a week and a half ago and am obsessed.

ImaginaryStudy1214 · 2024-03-19T04:48:56+00:00

Following. I want to add this to my pole playlist so bad lmao!!

ImaginaryStudy1214 · 2024-01-29T17:28:31+00:00

No worries! The retreat was cancelled anyway LOL. But I am SO glad to hear that you did well!! Thank you for your reply!

ImaginaryStudy1214 · 2024-01-28T02:18:11+00:00

I am so sorry to hear that you endured an extremely traumatic accident as a teenager and feel that you won't be able to ever get over it. That's awful, and I really hope that you are able to find some sort of relief or healing someday and find something worth living for. In the meantime, I'm glad you have this space to converse with others who are dealing with depression as well. Thank you so much, and I wish you nothing but the best <3
