"Have you talked to your sister about what happened? It may be as simple as having her keep her dog in another room when you visit. An underlying question is do you want to visit at all? If the dog wasn't a factor, would you still be reluctant? Maybe you just don't want to go to your sister's house. Start with a conversation."
"I'm a 46-year-old man who is on my third career. In my past careers, I worked myself up from the bottom to middle management roles, taking on more responsibilities than I could handle and getting fired after asking for help. I'm now in a position where I feel stuck. I have no motivation to do anything more than the bare minimum and spend each day waiting for 5 p.m."
A 130-pound dog stepped on a barefoot visitor's right foot, causing nerve damage diagnosed five months later; metatarsal pads and cream were prescribed and injections were suggested if no improvement occurs. The injured visitor no longer wants to visit the sister whose dog caused the injury and will continue hosting holidays at home. Suggestions include discussing the incident with the sister, arranging for the dog to be kept in another room when visiting, and reflecting whether the reluctance to visit stems from the dog or from a broader reluctance to go to the sister's house. A 46-year-old man on his third career reports repeated promotion to middle management, taking on too much responsibility, being fired after asking for help, now feeling stuck with minimal motivation, and experiencing persistent loneliness and dating exhaustion.
