Workplace

Do you experience conflicts with co-workers and colleagues?

Do you struggle with receiving feedback or criticism from your supervisor or co-workers?

Do you feel on edge at your work and easily snap at others?

Then, chances are you are experiencing a high level of relational stress in the work place. Most people spend a significant amount of time at work. In fact, people who work full-time spend half of our waking hours interacting with people at work.

Many people experience strains in their relationships with employees, colleagues or supervisors. These relationship difficulties at work can have a profound impact on how we feel both in our professional and personal lives. Work related relational stress could cause us to be less present and emotionally available for other important social connections, particularly connections with family and friends that normally feel safe and non – threatening.  They can also impact our happiness, productivity and success.

If you….

• wish you could just fit in with others at work
• wonder why your point of view is not taken into account by others
• feel others are better liked and receive preferential treatment at work
• have someone at work that brings conflict, anxiety, or distress into your everyday functioning

Then, the Good Life Center for Mental Health may be able to assist you. Whether you feel powerless, misunderstood, disconnected from others or you just can’t seem to get along with people at work, there are tangible tools you can learn to improve the quality of these relationships.

Our clinicians can work with you on concrete skills to help you manage relationship conflicts and reduce the anxiety and distress they bring to your work and home life. During treatment, you will be taught strategies to improve communications and be assertive while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. There are even strategies for dealing with difficult colleagues, employees and supervisors. We will begin by examining your patterns of interactions to determine what is causing or maintaining your interpersonal conflicts at work. Your therapist may use role playing exercises to practice strategies and increase your level of comfort using them in your work place.
