| Past Conversation |
User: I’ve been having a tough time with a co-worker, Derek. He often dismisses my ideas in meetings and it’s starting to affect my confidence at work.
Therapist: That sounds challenging. How do you usually react when Derek dismisses your ideas? User: Mostly, I stay quiet. I feel like if I speak up, it might make things worse. Derek is quite influential in the team. |
| User Query | I’m having another meeting with Derek today. Any advice? |
| Key Information | Derek’s habit of dismissing the user’s ideas in meetings. The user’s reluctance to speak up due to Derek’s influence and the impact on the user’s confidence. |
| Sample Answer | Given the situation with Derek you’ve described, it’s important to approach this meeting with a plan. Remember to assert your ideas confidently. You might also consider discussing your concerns with Derek privately or seeking support from another team member or supervisor. It’s important to create a space where you can express your ideas without feeling dismissed. |
