Lawyers Hoping To Be Hit By A Bus Isn't Normal, but Not Uncommon Either with Kelcey Baker

from The Former Lawyer Podcast · host Sarah Cottrell

You're exhausted from work and catch yourself thinking, "I wish I could get hit by a bus just a little bit so I could finally get a break." If that sounds familiar, you're not alone - and it's definitely not normal. This disturbing thought is surprisingly common among lawyers in toxic work environments. Sarah and returning guest Kelcey Baker dive into why so many lawyers fantasize about minor injuries as their only escape from work pressure, and why even vacation doesn't provide real relief. If you've ever had thoughts like this, this episode will help you understand it's not your fault - it's your environment. Content warning: Discussion includes narcissistic abuse, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. See show notes at formerlawyer.com/236
