For those who find themselves unhappy with their working conditions, the psychotherapist suggested that the first step is to ask yourself what’s in your control. “Communication is usually the best first step. For example, if you are not getting along with co-workers or a manager, having an open, authentic discussion around what is and what is not working can often work wonders.”
“If you are unable to change the external conditions in the workplace, you are left with two choices: either leave or, if that's not possible or ideal, change your mindset—come to an acceptance of the situation,” Abrams continued.
“Easier said than done, but for anyone to psychologically survive difficult circumstances, how they frame things, as well as what their narrative of and attitude toward the situation is vital and can make all the difference for their mental and emotional well-being.”
