Thank goodness for the 21st century. We have cosmetic surgeons, image consultants, and we also havepsychologists. You sure deserve an A for appearance: youre the envy of your friends, the campus belle, and the office beauty and brains whos loved, hated, loved. Your ideas are imitated by management, your flawless complexion is making everyone curious about the night cream brand you use, and none of your muscles is out of place. Whats even more aggravating is, in spite of your God-given gifts, youre unpretentious and unassuming.
BUT
That turbulence inside you is slowly becoming a full blown unstoppable thunderstorm. Its eroding your confidence, and your wounds remain uncared for. We all agree. Emotional wounds take the longest to heal. You need an expert wholl come to the rescue.
That list of psychologists has been sitting inside your drawer for the last six months. Staring at it wont cure you. Dial the first number on the list. Ask to see a psychologist. If you procrastinate some more, you may need more than a psychologist. Psychiatrists have been also known to cure old, festering wounds.
And obviously an excellent reason to escape the drudgery of memos and customer calls and filling out return merchandise account forms.

Your father is dying and is about to sign his last will. You walk along the office corridor and you notice people turn away. Get a new nose, be nose-happy and nurse that bruised ego back to health. |
