How my story became my mission
It’s ok. I’ll just die here before I inconvenience you. That was the way I was treating myself before I accepted my life-threatening peanut allergy.
Does this have peanuts in it? I used to hate to ask this question when I ate in restaurants, visited friends' houses, or attended other events. Many times (when I ended up in the ER), I didn't ask at all. Read on to see how this relates to my story as a therapist and creating my practice, Courage Compass Therapy.
In 2004, the last time I was in the ER for anaphylactic shock, I ordered tuna with soba noodles. There was nothing on the menu to indicate the dish had peanuts, but 30 minutes later I was in the ER, driven by a friend. I had to tell the administrative person through shortness of breath, terror, alarm, shock, loneliness (said friend had to park) that I was deathly allergic to peanuts and having a reaction.
I had an epipen and DIDN'T use it. I didn't call an ambulance either. I didn't want to be an imposition. I didn't want attention. I didn't want people to think differently of me. I didn't want to stand out as a person with a problem. That's how important it was for others to like me and not disapprove of, be annoyed by, or be inconvenienced by me. I wanted to control the way others perceived me to the point where it could have killed me.
