Thank you for sharing this. It takes a huge amount of strength to hold space for others, especially when your own energy is being drained by unprofessional leadership. Your frustration is completely valid.
What you're experiencing is a powerful signal. That supervisor's behavior—the narcissism, the micromanagement—is a trigger. It's not just a workplace annoyance; it's a messenger pointing to where your energy is being given away and where your boundaries are being tested.
Your freedom here isn't in waiting for them to change. It's in managing your own inner landscape amidst the chaos. The key is to get fiercely protective of the empathy and compassion you bring to your role.

Ask yourself: Where can I create a pocket of peace in my day to recharge? How can I intentionally disconnect from their energy when I clock out? You are doing sacred work. Your focus needs to be on nourishing your own spirit so you can continue to show up for the people you serve. See this situation not as a roadblock, but as a masterclass in energetic self-preservation. You are more powerful than their unprofessionalism. Good Luck!
