My Values & why my psychologist wants to talk about them.

I bought up with my psychologist today, that I don't understand why he keeps mentioning my values - as I believe I have good values & I like them.
Then he explained; It's about my core values of compassion, empathy, being heard, loving, etc - that I have & used to show to my clients in my previous job - didn't match up with the core values that work / the company was displaying.
So I would show my true self to our clients, but was wearing a mask with the staff & company, because I was pretending I was coping. I was not being assertive in demanding that I be treated the same way we treated our clients.
As he said, there is nothing wrong with my core values. But by burying my feelings & pretending & not getting the respect I deserved - it just ate away at me until finally my brain couldn't take it anymore & when the workplace incident happened, that was the final kick to my brain.
It just makes so much sense. And I can see how it has affected not just this job, but my past relationships. How I learnt not to request & be assertive in what I needed from others, as I learnt from my childhood, by not being listened to.
It may be obvious for some of you, but it is a huge light bulb moment for me. I'm unbelievably happy as I know this is going to make a huge difference in my life: from finding work and being successful, to having a love relationship & having better communication with my son.
I feel like shouting it out to the world -
I'm going to get better & start living the life I was meant to live.
We will start working on being assertive without being rude next week. I can't wait.
My wish for EVERYONE on this site, ot that you too have a light bulb moment soon, that helps you in your recovery.
Love to everyone
