Supportive conversations that build resilience

Pair up. Take turns sharing something that stresses or worries you, and listening. The listener should not try to solve anything. Follow-up questions and validating comments—such as “Given everything that’s going on, it makes sense that you feel this way,” or “I hear you have a lot on your mind about the crisis”—are encouraged.

Train for autonomy with your team

Psykologifabriken Team

To the collection

To feel free, we need to know where our mandate begins and ends.This collection focuses on autonomy.It includes seven exercises that help you clarify boundaries and guardrails so you can feel freer to take initiative. You’ll also practice spotting what already works and how to take your autonomy and self-determination to the next level—by reviewing how information is shared in the team, how decisions are made, and by identifying moments when you feel especially free.
