Hi @Jamc
That's great news for you! Are you excited to be getting back to work? It sounds like you and your psychologist have put some plans in place so you don't get dumped in the deep end, which is a great ideas.
Good luck and let us all know how you are going!

Hi @Jamc Great news to hear your employer has been so supportive and encouraging you to return to work as you feel ready. At the SANE Help Centre we often hear from people who have had the opposite experience, so I loved hearing this! Fellow member @Former-Member recently returned to work as a teacher – I wonder if she could share with you a bit more of her experience in making this transition. Hope it is all going well so far.
