Problem:
Hi Kelli, It appears to be true that Joe is trying to escape from situations that cause distress or anxiety at work. It also appears to be true that Joe does not know how to effectively handle his emotions occasionally. I can't help but wonder what sort of mental health struggles he is dealing with, or other cognitive challenges that we are unaware of. Joe would indeed benefit from learning some assertive communication skills to express his desires and emotions at work. I am curious how Joe handles his emotions at work, aside from staff meetings. Encouraging Joe to rely on prayer and thanksgiving throughout his day would be a great Biblical strategy! Philippians 4:6-7 also emphasizes emotional regulation and forgiveness, which would also be beneficial for Joe. How do you think Joe's employer could approach the topic of using assertive behavior instead of anger or hostile communication? Need Assignment Help?
