I’ve been finding that I have an almost visceral fear reaction to legal proceedings. Perhaps it’s just residual anxiety from The Troubles, where any legal document I received was certain to bear yet more bad news. I don’t know. The feelings are real, and affect me to the point of causing insomnia and a certain amount of agita.
This all presents a bit of a challenge since I get to handle all of the subpoenas that arrive at my office. Yesterday, I was even fortunate enough to be deposed for three and a half hours over the contents of a record. I was nervous enough to forget my home address for a moment. I’m not sure that I gave this particular sphere of my duties any thought when I applied for the position, but I’m certainly in the thick of it now.
I guess I’ll just chalk it up to exposure therapy.
