Your Mental Health - That Responsibilty Might Have Been Shifted Back from Employers to You

"If companies respond to falling revenues by cutting both staff and spending on mental health, the double blow of increased workloads and reduced support could seriously undermine the progress made to date." - Financial Times, July 20, 2023

Based on what clients for my Tarot reading service are saying, stress is on the upswing. The drivers range from fear of a loss of job or fewer gig assignments to seemingly impossible workloads. Yes, their employers are talking the mental-health awareness talk. They have even set up systems providing services, often free, such as counseling. 

But at this uncertain, volatile time in global capitalism there is little employers will budge on which is related to the onset or worsening of mental illness. For example, manpower management has gone raw. They will lay off workers and discontinue contracters on a dime. Just been promoted? With the slowed-down demand in management consulting you could still be cut loose. 

Since there is a falloff in hiring in white-collar categories, there can bubble up overwork for those still on the payroll. The underlying ethos is: Do the work or we will show you the door. Many others will grab that job and often for less money. 

In addition, although this is an era of oversharing it still might not be wise to be open about psychological challenges in one's professional life. The old joke is: Do you want a clinically depressed lawyer handling your divorce or merger and acquisition? 

Through Tarot readings many who need to work to financially survive are creating their own forms of "therapy." 

Often that is the satisfaction of a side business they operate around their day job. Just thinking about it can reduce stress and nurture hope that they can someday be free of having a boss. 

Another is making the difficult decision to take a haircut on compensation as a tradeoff for more time for them to self-care.

A third popular mode of coping is to veer into spirituality. Meditation becomes a daily ritual. The mindset is surrender to something bigger. That goes by the monikers "God," "Higher Power," "Universe" or "Spirit."

All this comes down to what Mom hammered: You have to learn how to take care of yourself.
