I got the call today that I am being offered a position. The commute is further, but professionally it feels like a great move and I’m excited for it.

The salary is a smidge less than I wanted. I am prepared to counter but don’t want to lose out if they don’t accept. I would take it at what they offered but I feel like I need to try and get my goal.

Any tips on how to approach? The comps I have researched are all over the place (60-110; I’m hoping for 90).

I am about 3 months in to EMDR. It has completely changed my life.

Pre-EMDR I was in a constant loop of fight or flight. I had no control over my impulses. I was constantly begging for comfort from unavailable sources. I turned to alcohol to cope with the distress.

Sobriety helped. But I still struggled with impulses, flashbacks, overall despair. EMDR has brought me back to myself. For the first time in years I feel like the person I want to be is in reach. I’m calm. I’m enjoying the little things. I laugh again.

This subreddit has helped me immensely; thank you to everyone who has shared/communicated.
