Interestingly, in some situations it’s the very way we think about these things that can make a normal work situation far more stressful than it needs to be! Our thoughts are more powerful than we may think and when they become distorted, they can work to our disadvantage. The article linked below discusses the 5 most common thought distortions capable of sabotaging ourselves at work.
How do you move through the world? Eager or hesitant? Passionate or mellow? Sunny or gloomy? We are all born with unique characteristics. The Temperament Model (Thomas & Chess, 1977) describes inherent behavioral styles, which are part of an individual’s personality. The beauty of this model is that it is non-judgmental. Temperament traits are neither good nor bad. They are simply different ways of being. When we are in relationship – for example with our children or our spouse – identifying temperament traits can reveal how we experience the world compared to our loved one.

Read moreHere’s an interesting article from Psychology Today addressing the question of “Why don’t more people use their Employee Assistance Program (EAP)?” An EAP is a free, confidential resource that you are able to access at any time. So, you would think it would be highly utilized. However, EAP’s can have a stigma that it’s only a counseling service. If you do need counseling, your EAP can help.
