Often we spend more time working than with family and friends. Dissatisfaction with one's role, lack of clarity of what steps to take next if one is unhappy, and the exploration of other career options can be challenging while working and attending to life's other responsibilities. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified work stress whether having to work from home while also parenting, loss of a job and the stress of unemployment, or the sudden shift of how you perform your job functions.
Therapy for work and career issues can help one develop an understanding of the challenging patterns in the work setting, provide clarification regarding what may not be working for the person in their career, and aid in building coping strategies for managing work related stress. Also, therapy can provide a neutral setting to receive support regarding worries and fears in the work environment. This exploration can provide a personalized approach for the person to make changes to improve the experience of work.
