I don't know if this is right of me to ask here, but I've been going through a particularly rough stint with a person who volunteers at the same organisation that I do.
I believe this person is narcissistic in the true sense of the word. I believe I'm of the empathic variety, putting us at extreme odds in the ways our mind's work.
He's flown into a rage at me a couple of times now and I've been his Supervisor both time's when this has occured.
I did nothing to provoke this person and thankfully, for my sanity, there were witnesses.
This person is threatening self harm and to take this organisation to court because he's not happy with the consequences of his actions, and feels he's been treated unfairly.
I have an initial meeting with a mediator tomorrow to discuss the mediation process and it's been causing me great distress, as I know how manipulative this person can be and I don't fancy being in a situation where it's his word against mine. I find him to be delusional.
I feel my best chance at communicating the facts as I see them, can only come about if I stay present and on point. Sounds simple but because I have a panic disorder where my mind thinks being hypervigilant is normal, I can lose myself and get carried away with exasperation and appear in a way that could do more harm than good.
I want to come away being somewhat proud of myself tomorrow, by sticking to the facts without letting my lack of respect for this person cloud the word's I use.
Any help from those who align with the power of honesty and transparency as a united front against what I'm perceiving as an unfair situation, threatening not only this organisation helping native wildlife, but I'm faced with giving up what was once a safe place for me if this cannot be resolved.
Kind regards
