May is mental health awareness month- a time to bring our voices together to raise awareness and advocate. In the spirit of this endeavor, I shared my most significant mental health learning in the past year- all about trauma. Some say unaddressed trauma is the source of mental illnesses and addiction. For years I didn’t understand what trauma was and how it impacted my life. I hope this information helps you.

Pros:
- astounding financial benefits, great healthcare

Cons:

- too many cultists
- closed culture with extremely compartmentalized information, working on a small piece of the puzzle, with reduced ability to demonstrate true value, unless already high up. 
- collaboration across teams is made unusually difficult and doesn’t seem encouraged.
- not remote friendly -- making everyone go back
