usr : Nice that you understand me, I was trying job websites alongside with jobcenter in town centre. I have jobseeker allowance but it will not cover the rent
sys : (Self-disclosure) I am living in a high-rent city and the only way I was able to keep my apartment was to find a roommate. Are there ways you can get help from friends or family until a new job opens up?
usr : I am renting just a room at the moment, Before I had a girlfriend so we had to split the bill. After she left I had to take all responsibility just on myself to pay bills. I have few friends but don't think they could lend me a lot of money anyway
sys : (Providing Suggestions) One possible solution, if it's possible for you, could be to sub-lease your room to someone else and stay with friends or family. Even if they can't loan you money, they may be able to let you stay with them for a week while you make money renting your room as an airbnb.
usr : Oh AirBnB might be a solution actually. I will speak to my cousin if I could stay couple of nights at his place.
sys : (Question) What sort of employment are you looking for? Perhaps we can brainstorm some places you can go to make connections for potential work.
usr : I was working in IKEA warehouse before I got redundant
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Working in a warehouse shows you have great skills for several other types of jobs. Have you checked small independent-contractor sites like TaskRabbit or Lyft to make extra funds while you search for a new permanent job?
usr : I even haven't heard about those. I am really useless sometimes... What kind of jobs I can find there do you know?
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Well, if you didn't know about them, that's not your fault. It's possible that you could find a new job opportunity while working on smaller tasks or by volunteering for a local organization. You could meet new folks who could provide you with new connections for employment!
usr : I Will definitely try that. You are really helpful. Have you been doing any jobs through those websites?
sys : (Self-disclosure) Yes I am able to make a little spending money by doing small tasks like delivering real estate papers, or delivery take-out food. You can google a list of sites like RentSons.com where you can sign up to do an assortment of tasks, and your warehouse skills will come in handy!
usr : That's cool, I feel now a lot better. Maybe I will be able to find even a girlfriend somewhere on those jobs. I feel lonely after my girlfriend left me
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) We all feel lonely when life gets hard, but getting yourself out there to do tasks will help you feel useful AND you could meet your future wife, you never know! I wish you the absolute best!
usr : Thank you very much for you help. I learned something new today and feel much better
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You're welcome. I think you'll do great.
usr : Have a lovely afternoon!

usr : Hi there. I'm OK but have had a difficult time at work recently
sys : (Question) i am sorry to hear that, would you like to talk about it?
usr : Yes I have been given what I can only describe as ridiculous feedback by my manager and it had annoyed me greatly. I'm thinking about complaining about it.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) It is always hard to hear any bad feedback, do you feel that you could speak with your manager about it and try to resolve the feelings?
usr : I could do but this seems to be something that she has an issue with and I wouldn't want it to damage our working relationship. She basically said she doesn't like the way I sit in meetings and smile when I'm thinking about something?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Could you possibly go to her and tell her that you have heard the feed back and you are sorry to hear that it bothers her that you did not realize it and it is something you will work on becoming more aware of.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) You seem like such a nice person i am sure if you approached it the right way you would not cause any damage.
usr : I'm thinking perhaps I should go to a different manager and voice these concerns. I don't see how I sit in meetings or how I smile when I'm thinking to be constructive work based feedback it's really frustrating it's clear this person just doesn't like me
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Going to another manager may be a great idea! Maybe the manager could address the issue with her and help her to realize there is nothing wrong with a having happy employee like yourself.
usr : yeah that's true I mean I'm almost thinking this manager needs to be retrained because this video isn't work related is really quite petty an actually makes me consider not working for her in future. The only problem is I need my job I need a steady income but this person just seems to have it out for me.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Yes i can see where that would be a problem.
usr : perhaps I'm just making too much of a big deal about this. how would you react if someone gave you similar feedback in work?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Do you think you could speak to this other manager about possibly transferring positions so you are not working under your current manager?
usr : I haven't actually thought about that as a solution but that might work actually. I think maybe I'm overthinking this but I've taken it very personally.
sys : (Self-disclosure) Well you have a right to feel how you do, everyone takes things differently. It would bother me but i would proably try to get to know her better to see why she has such a problem with others being happy, maybe she has some problems going on in her life and has no one to share these problems with if she is not happy it may come as a struggle to see others happy all the time.
usr : I think that's an interesting perspective. she might have issues herself and be taking them out on members of her team in work which is quite sad really. Do you think I should just be blunt and ask her the question?
| (Information) I would let her know nicely that some things she said has been hurtful and ask if there is anything on her mind that she would like to chat about that you would be glad to talk with her. |

sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you had a conversation with him with some sort of objective third party to try and work through the differences in seeing your children? Often times, having an objective 3rd party helps to get somewhere in a conversation.
usr : Yes, the court right now. They are moving so slow with Covid.
usr : I'm just worried my kids will forget me. or not love me anymore.
sys : (Question) Does he allow you to have any contact with your children?
usr : Not at this time. The court is in favor of their father. This situation is a little stickier. In July, I sent recordings of him being abusive to me, to my mother
usr : I told him I wanted a divorce and I didn't love him anymore.
usr : Next thing I know, I'm being arrested for "hitting" him, which never happened
usr : so I am trying to beat this criminal charge

usr : it's weird because i fall asleep okay but then in the middle of the night i wake up worried, lol, most inconvenient. I haven't tried that....hmmm maybe an after supper walk would help
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) It sounds like there might be other issues at work too ... anxiety?
usr : yes, am dealing with cancer and another family member had to go for some serious tests so I get anxious about that
usr : i think you're right I should put in a call to my doctor and get an appointment
sys : (Question) Gosh I am very sorry to hear that. Have you spoken to your cancer doctor about it?
usr : no actually i have not, perhaps i should
sys : (Others) There may be some relation between the two things, it's worth seeing.
usr : hmm yes you may well be right there, I hadn't htought of that
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Did the two things start at around the same time, do you remember?
usr : I have a nurse at the cancer center I can call, she can perhaps advise me
sys : (Information) Yes - there may well be some physical thing going on as well as the anxiety.
usr : hmm....i think so now that I think about it, yes
sys : (Providing Suggestions) I would definitely advise talking to her then. There might be something helpful she can recommend.
usr : i have too much living to do have to beat this cancer!! And getting a good night's sleep is important for my recovery
sys : (Question) Yes it definitely is. Are you at liberty to nap during the day if you feel really tired?
usr : ok so a walk in the evening and call my cancer nurse and make a appointment wtih my doctore, you've given me a plan of action
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Try a nice milky drink just before you go to sleep too. Very soothing.
usr : yes I do nap, thankfully i live alone so it's nice and quiet :)
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Watch one of your favourite movies before bed too .. that might relax you.
usr : thank yo9u so much for all your help today
| (Question) You're most welcome - we have to talk for fifteen mins though so is there anything else I can advise you with? |

| (Providing Suggestions) Hmm. My other thought is tell him what you just told me, that you have been trying to show him that you trust him....but be honest and tell him you are afraid. Hopefully, he won't want you feeling that way, and will open up a bit. |

sys : (Question) Oh I see. Apart from isolating how is he doing otherwise, like at school? Is he still seeing his friends at all?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) It can be scary not knowing what our kids are up to online.
usr : Not really. He just has this one particular friend who comes over sometimes and they lock themselves in the room.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Hmm. So a lot of mystery. I can understand you being worried. Is he your only child?
usr : I am so scared I don't want to confront him I have always tried to show him how much I trust him as away to make him feel responsible enough
usr : Yes. He is my only child and I am single parent
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Thats good parenting! Perhaps if you frame it as being about you, e.g. "I am getting really worried, can you please explain....it's affecting me (affecting my sleep/work/whatever" .... maybe it will inspire him to be more forthcoming
sys : (Information) Any signs of depression? I have been depresed before, and self-isolating can be a symptom, I've been there...
usr : Never thought of it that way. That could be a possibility. But he always seems happy and we chat a lot onlythat he his behind closed doors in his room for a long time everyday.
usr : Am also concerned about the friend who comes over. I don't really know his family or home just that he's from the neighborhood and they go to the same school.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Hmm. My other thought is tell him what you just told me, that you have been trying to show him that you trust him....but be honest and tell him you are afraid. Hopefully, he won't want you feeling that way, and will open up a bit.
| (Self-disclosure) Yes I can see that being concerning when you know nothing about the friend. Yet you walk a fine line because he needs the freedom and autonomy to choose his friends without explanation required...it's such a balancing act. I can tell you that I have raised a daughter, and that teen years were tougher than toddlerhood. Lots of worry, but she came through it and is fine now. |

usr : Hi Sharon. Am good just concerned about my son.
sys : (Question) Oh I see. What's happening with your son?
usr : I suspect my son is in bad company. His most recent behaviour is so different from what I am used to
sys : (Self-disclosure) Oh that's hard to deal with. My daughter ran with a bad crowd for a while and I remember the deep worry.
sys : (Question) What sort of behaviour are you noticing? How old is he?
usr : My son is 15. Recently he's keeping to himself and mostly stays locked in his room. He barely allows anyone in.
