[QUOTE="Sally66, post: 861167, member: 180087"] Forgive me but your response fits a very typical male perspective. My husband would agree with you. Here's the situation, here's what you can do about it so let's get on and do it. That is fine and you are entitled to deal with things as you wish but for some, probably mainly women, we need to talk about it and find reassurance when we do. Asking for counselling for this condition is a request that it is made available to those that want it. No one can force you to have it. As for employers - well lucky you - as I suspect you have never been on the receiving end of such insensitivity. Do I think employers should take on board what their employees are going through - too right I do. We are simply asking them to listen and be slightly adaptable. My brother is still in recovery from a brain abscess back in October. He works for Fujitzu. They have been fantastic. That support has made all the difference to his need to adapt his working practices and has hugely reassured his family during the bleakest times. I could be wrong but the fact that you are replying to this thread maybe shows you are actually more interested than you admit, otherwise you would have moved away from this thread by now. [/QUOTE]
