Freud, one of the first modern psychologists, said the two main tasks of adulthood were to work and to love. Human work is how we express our individual gifts into the world. It is something we can have mastery over and feel creative and fulfilled within. If this ideal isn’t a reality in your life, then counseling or coaching could be helpful.
People come to counseling for a range of reasons: exploring industries that fit their personality; preparing to ask for a promotion; changing careers; managing a difficult work relationship dynamic; developing a healthier approach to work; meeting goals; and much more. We spend a majority of our lives working, so it makes sense to spend some time figuring out how to make our work lives fit into our overall lives.
