Have recently begun car sharing with a colleague who has been suffering from anxiety caused due to stress at work.
We do this each Monday, and then take a walk through the park in the early morning on our way to work. It’s a bit of company for us both and I know that my colleague appreciates the extra confidence it gives her on a Monday morning. I’m hoping that soon she’ll be looking forward to our start to the week together rather than dreading the day coming round.
Was able to take her for a coffee too after her last appraisal meeting, just yesterday. She told me of something called a Stress Management Plan, which in itself seemed to be causing a fair amount of stress!
I think that my presence with her allowed her to vent some of her frustrations and that she was able to feel supported.
