T coaching me on defending myself

Posted by Poet on June 8, 2008, at 11:42:35

This is work related, but since the work board doesn't get much traffic and it involves therapy I'm posting it here.

I got some negative feedback at work last week and my defense of "I'm still in my learning curve" didn't cut it. T wants me to approach my boss on Tuesday and say something like "I'm confused about what you said last week about my productivity. I've been scannning documents for two weeks as quickly as I can and it's now caught up. I also did a _________ for _________ and he said I did a good job so that's why I'm confused about how my productivity is low."

I'm supposed to write it out and memorize it. I'm already anxiety ridden over this. I take clonazepam before work as it is. T is right that I'm not good at defending myself: I either get silent or angry and say something stupid. She thinks I need to be proactive on this or the next time he thinks I'm not working up to speed he might fire me. I can't take not having a job again and emotionally and economically need this one to go fulltime, but I'm scared to talk to him. Any confidence boosting advice/experience in a similar situation is welcome.

Help.
