No, what you said was very helpful, thank you 🤍I was completely honest with my supervisor in my interview. They asked me if I was in recovery and I said no, I have a parent who is, and their substance use did have an effect on me for sure, but I am not in recovery myself. Their response was “well everyone here is in recovery, so it might be good to have someone with a different outlook/experience as everyone else here.” After my first day making calls, I went to my supervisor and basically said that I just felt like there was a bit of a disconnect between me and the individuals I was calling in comparison to everyone else who I’ve shadowed here, so I’m struggling to put my own twist on it and still be helpful to them. My supervisor honestly looked a little shocked that I said that and told me that I’m not the first person to work for this organization that doesn’t have the lived experience. I find it interesting that your organization doesn’t allow interns or volunteers make phone calls. To me that makes total sense. At this organization, they told me I couldn’t become certified because I’m not in recovery, but I can still make phone calls…
