Do you take work home with you?
Hello coffee lovers,
Lately, I've been watching a Netflix show called “Couples Therapy” . It was very interesting. It was about different couples and normal things that people go through but somehow have a big impact on them as a couple. Even though I felt bad for these couples, it was great they talked about what they were feeling.
While looking at this I noticed that it did affect the therapist as well. Because if you have to think about it you have to remain neutral .They have to listen to both stories, both sides of what they are both feeling and work on it from there.
We have to question the fact being that they see so many couples and hear so many sides. What do you think their mental status is? Do they bring their couple issues with them at home or are they able to shut that down by the time they get home?
I know that psychologists are at risk for occupational stress because of such problems they deal with at work.
What I did like about this show is that the “couple therapist” had someone she could talk to.I think it was her own therapist. I also think it's a good way to release all those thoughts and not take these problems home with them.
I can sometimes have trouble separating things but I know when I get home as long as I speak to someone I can trust it helps and then I move on with my day. Does it still be in the back of the mind of course but we try and move on. Here is a list that you should make. Take a look at..
separating your personal life and your job:
Set clear boundaries between the office and home.
Sometimes we get too involved with problems that have nothing to do with us.so make sure you know what has to be done only in the office not outside office. If it's that serious, you can call the police or a friend.
Avoid looking at their inbox after a certain time of day.
After work hours unless it's that important try not to be on your emails.your mind must get rest as well as your body.
Turn off notifications on work devices in the evening.
If you turn it off you are most likely not paying attention to it and will rest better.
Set aside one part of the day for meetings and calls.
Take time, I call wossaa to not think about work even if it's 10 minutes during the day. Try to set aside at the same time every day so your body knows to automatically turn off your mind and relax it.
Use a separate work phone or laptop.
If you have different phones or laptops it helps to separate them by having your open personal stuff going on. You can look at those personal things that need to be dealt with other than your work stuff. Which will have you focus on just yourself.
Think About an Answering Service
If you have a specific workplace you can get yourself an answering service that they can leave messages at and if it's that important they will contact you and let you know.
Take vacations or "stay-cations"
Taking you time to catch up with stuff or maybe your brain just needs a timeout and staying home is ok to do.
Now I know these may seem impossible to do,which is understandable. But maybe trying at least one of them out may help you a bit you never know. Even finding someone to talk to will help you complete. And if you are having a couple issues not based on work here are some links to check out. Also check out the show I mentioned above. You will be surprised to see you are not alone in certain things.
