For many high-performing professionals – engineers in oil and gas, attorneys, medical providers, and project managers – working long hours is not just expected, it’s often rewarded. Productivity, responsiveness, overworking and endurance become markers of competence.

But there is growing recognition that what looks like dedication on the surface can, over time, become something more costly.

A recent survey highlighted in Employee Benefit News found that nearly half of U.S. full-time workers identify as “workaholics,” with 76% describing themselves as at least somewhat workaholic (Nesbitt, 2026). Three-quarters report working beyond 40 hours per week, and a significant subset exceed 60 hours.

While this level of effort may appear necessary – or even admirable – it often carries psychological and relational consequences that are harder to measure.

The Hidden Function of Overwork

In clinical practice, overworking is not only about external demands. It frequently serves an internal function. Work can become a highly effective form of avoidance – of difficult conversations, unresolved conflicts, anxiety, or even deeper questions about identity and satisfaction.

For example:

• An engineer may stay late to avoid tension at home.
• An attorney may take on additional cases to avoid feelings of inadequacy.
• A medical provider may overextend to maintain a sense of control in an unpredictable system.
• A project manager may remain constantly “on” to avoid disappointing others.

Over time, this pattern reinforces itself. Work becomes the place where you feel competent and in control, while other areas of life – relationships, parenting, self-care – begin to feel more demanding and less rewarding.

Impact on Parenting and Family Life

When work consistently takes priority, parenting often becomes reactive rather than intentional. You may find yourself physically present but emotionally depleted. Small moments – bedtime routines, conversations, shared activities – can begin to feel like obligations rather than opportunities for connection.

Children are perceptive. They may not articulate it directly, but they experience the absence of consistent, engaged attention. Over time, this can affect attachment, communication patterns, and behavioral dynamics within the home.

Overworking Strain on Couples & Relationships

Similarly, couples often experience a gradual erosion of connection.

When one or both partners are overextended:

• Communication becomes logistical rather than emotional.
• Conflict is avoided or escalates quickly due to accumulated stress.
• Intimacy – both emotional and physical – declines.

What begins as “I’m doing this for us” can slowly transform into “We don’t feel like a team anymore.”

The Mental Health Cost of Workaholics

The same survey found that 50% of workers report mental health impacts related to overwork.

These often include:

• Chronic stress and burnout
• Anxiety and difficulty disengaging
• Irritability and emotional exhaustion
• Sleep disruption
• Reduced sense of meaning outside of work

Importantly, working more hours does not necessarily improve performance. In fact, cognitive efficiency, decision-making, and creativity often decline under sustained stress.

How Psychotherapy Helps

Psychotherapy offers a structured space to examine these patterns without judgment. The goal is not to reduce ambition or professional excellence, but to bring awareness to the underlying drivers of overwork and create more sustainable ways of functioning.

In individual therapy, you can:

• Identify the internal beliefs fueling overwork (e.g., “I’m only valuable if I’m productive”)
• Develop boundaries that align with both professional and personal priorities
• Learn to tolerate discomfort rather than avoiding it through work
• Re-engage with relationships in a more present and intentional way

Why Group Therapy Is Especially Effective

Group psychotherapy adds a powerful dimension, particularly for high-achieving professionals who may feel isolated in their experience.

In a well-facilitated group, you begin to see that others – often equally accomplished – struggle with similar patterns. This shared experience reduces stigma and opens the door to more honest reflection.

Group therapy helps you:

• Recognize interpersonal patterns in real time
• Receive direct, constructive feedback from peers
• Practice setting boundaries and expressing needs
• Rebuild relational skills that may have been overshadowed by professional demands

Perhaps most importantly, group therapy challenges the belief that you must manage everything alone.

Moving Toward Balance

Overwork is often normalized, even celebrated. But normalization does not make it sustainable. As awareness grows, many professionals are beginning to question whether the cost is worth it – not just in terms of burnout, but in missed relationships, strained families, and a diminished sense of fulfillment.

Psychotherapy provides a path to recalibrate. Not by stepping away from success, but by redefining it in a way that includes both professional achievement and personal well-being. Step away from the work for one moment and book a therapy session today!

Here at Prasad Counseling and Training, many of our patients are highly trained professionals – medical providers, engineers in oil and gas, project managers, teachers, and attorneys. They work in demanding environments where competence matters, decisions carry consequences, and confidence is often expected.

But even among highly capable professionals, there’s a psychological pattern that can quietly influence decision-making: the Dunning–Kruger effect.

An recent article on Atlassian.com explains the concept simply: the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people overestimate their own knowledge or abilities, particularly when they have limited experience in a specific area. The phenomenon was first described by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger in a 1999 study showing that people who performed poorly on tests of humor, grammar, and logic also dramatically overestimated how well they had done.

This finding doesn’t mean people are unintelligent. Rather, it highlights a paradox: the skills needed to perform well are often the same skills needed to evaluate performance accurately. When those skills are still developing, people may not yet have the awareness to recognize their own gaps.

High-Achieving Professionals are Not Immune

If you are a physician, nurse practitioner, or other medical provider, you are likely to operate in an environment where decisiveness is valued.

“Confidence is essential when diagnosing a patient or responding to a clinical problem,” says Prasad Counseling and Training Practice Owner, Bill Prasad, LPC-S.

Yet medicine is also a field where the volume of knowledge is vast and constantly evolving. The Dunning–Kruger effect can sometimes appear when clinicians move into unfamiliar areas – such as new technologies, administrative leadership, or policy decisions – where their expertise is still developing. “Our practice has the contract with the EAP that serves Methodist Hospitals. We work with many providers who face challenges,” he adds.

Engineers in the oil and gas industry face similar dynamics. Engineering culture rewards technical mastery and problem-solving. However, when projects involve complex interdisciplinary systems—finance, regulatory frameworks, or human behavior—technical confidence can occasionally spill over into domains where expertise is still forming.

Leadership: Pressure on Managers to be Confident

Project managers encounter another version of this bias. Leadership roles often require projecting certainty in front of teams and stakeholders. Yet managing timelines, human dynamics, risk forecasts, and organizational politics simultaneously means no one has full mastery of every variable.

The temptation to appear fully confident can sometimes mask areas where collaboration or feedback would strengthen outcomes.

Dunning-Kruger for Academics

Teachers and educators also experience this dynamic.

“Many teachers develop deep mastery in curriculum and pedagogy, yet new educational technologies, policy changes, or classroom behavioral challenges can create unfamiliar territory,” says Prasad Counseling and Training Group Counselor and Former School Counselor, Carroll Prasad, LPC-S.

The Dunning–Kruger effect can occur during these transitions when early exposure to a new approach creates a sense of confidence before deeper mastery develops.

“Attorneys may recognize a similar pattern,” says Prasad Counseling and Training Psychotherapist Hannah Schaeffer. “Legal training builds analytical reasoning and persuasive confidence—two qualities that serve clients well,” she adds.

However, the law contains countless specialties. An attorney who is brilliant in litigation may initially underestimate the complexity of tax law, intellectual property, or regulatory compliance.

The Learning Curve Behind the Bias

The Atlassian article connects the Dunning–Kruger effect to a model called the four stages of competence:

1. Unconscious incompetence – You don’t yet realize what you don’t know.
2. Conscious incompetence – You recognize gaps and begin learning.
3. Conscious competence – You can perform the skill with effort.
4. Unconscious competence – The skill becomes second nature.

The Dunning–Kruger effect tends to show up early – between the first and second stages – when initial exposure creates confidence before experience has caught up.

Matters for Mental Health & Professional Growth

In high-performance professions, overconfidence can create several challenges. It can block learning if feedback is ignored. It can strain team trust when someone repeatedly overpromises. In safety-sensitive fields—medicine, engineering, or law—the stakes can also be significant.

But there is another side to the story. A small degree of optimism can also push people to attempt ambitious goals they might otherwise avoid. In that sense, confidence can be a powerful motivator.

Building Healthier Self-Awareness

Awareness is the best antidote to this bias. The Atlassian article suggests several strategies that are particularly relevant for professionals:

• Seek honest feedback from colleagues and mentors.
• Reflect on past projects to identify where strengths and gaps consistently appear.
• Encourage psychological safety on teams, where people can admit uncertainty without fear of embarrassment.
• Stay committed to lifelong learning, even in areas where you already feel competent.

For professionals like medical providers, engineers, project managers, teachers, and attorneys, humility is not weakness—it is a cognitive advantage.

Understanding the Dunning–Kruger effect doesn’t mean doubting yourself. Instead, it offers something more valuable: a clearer, more realistic understanding of where your strengths truly shine and where growth is still unfolding.

Why Group Psychotherapy Can Help

One of the most powerful ways to develop accurate self-awareness is through group psychotherapy.

“In a well-facilitated therapy group, individuals receive real-time feedback from others who observe their communication style, assumptions, and blind spots,” says Group Leader and Prasad Counseling and Training psychotherapist Thomas Fryar. “This kind of interpersonal mirror can gently challenge overconfidence while also correcting the opposite problem—unnecessary self-doubt,” he adds.

Group therapy also creates a psychologically safe environment where high-achieving professionals can practice curiosity, humility, and authentic dialogue. Over time, many people discover that the insights they gain from peers help them become not only more self-aware individuals, but also more effective leaders, collaborators, and decision-makers in their professional lives.

Understanding the Dunning–Kruger effect doesn’t mean doubting yourself. Instead, it offers something more valuable: a clearer, more realistic understanding of where your strengths truly shine and where growth is still unfolding.

Choosing the right supervisor is critical for any Licensed Masters Social Worker (LMSW) or Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. The guidance you receive during supervision may shape your career. That makes it essential to select a supervisor who aligns with your goals, learning style, and professional needs.

A shortage of supervisors offering sessions has made the process more difficult as reported by the Texas Tribune.

The Texas Tribune article discusses the shortage of licensed mental health professionals in Texas. There are more than 1,100 vacant mental health positions across state hospitals. Therefore, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission created a training program for mental health professionals to supervise students.

This program aims to address workforce shortages, particularly in rural areas, and ensure better access to care for Texans. The initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen the state’s mental health services.

Choosing a Social Worker Supervisor

When choosing a supervisor, it’s important to consider their expertise, experience, and availability. Wade Maggert, LCSW Supervisor at Prasad Counseling and Training, emphasizes, “Your supervisor should have significant experience in your area of practice, ensuring they can provide tailored guidance.” Additionally, understanding their availability for consultations and response times is crucial for consistent support for optimal supervision experience.

Compatibility between you and your supervisor is another key factor. Wade notes, “Establishing a strong working relationship with your supervisor is crucial.” A supervisor’s personality and approach should complement your learning style. That goes a long way to foster an environment where you feel supported and understood.

In addition, Maggert’s supervisees can collect fees from insurance, offering them a greater opportunity to build a case load.

Serving a Vital Role in Mental Health Care

Supervisors play a crucial role in the training of mental health professionals such as those with a social work license. This is especially true in states like Texas, where there is a severe shortage of licensed counselors and therapists. They provide essential guidance and support to students, helping them gain practical experience under professional oversight.

This not only ensures that students are well-prepared for their future roles but also helps to address gaps in mental health services. By mentoring students, supervisors help expand the workforce and improve access to care for underserved populations.

Additionally, supervisors contribute to maintaining high standards of care in mental health by passing on best practices and ethical guidelines. Their mentorship is key to cultivating competent professionals who can navigate complex patient needs.

Supervisor Support at Prasad Counseling & Training

At Prasad Counseling and Training, we are committed to providing supervision that goes beyond the basics. Bill Prasad, LPC-S, and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), draws from his extensive experience in the field, highlighting the importance of a well-rounded supervisor. “Paving the way for the next generation of counselors is part of my evolving service to the world of psychotherapy,” Bill explains.

His approach to supervision is not only about guiding new therapists through clinical challenges but also about helping them understand the business aspects of psychotherapy—a crucial area often overlooked in graduate programs.

Bill’s experience underscores the critical role of a supervisor in helping new therapists navigate the complexities of the profession. He adds, “The road to acquiring an independent license can be fraught with debilitating burnout, ethical challenges, and financial strain. It is essential that a new therapist have a seasoned, well-credentialed and skilled supervisor who has business acumen.” This holistic approach ensures that supervisees are well-prepared for the practicalities of building a successful practice.

Becoming a Social Work Supervisor

Maggert also shares his motivation for becoming a supervisor, stating, “Becoming a supervisor was a natural progression in my professional journey, much like my path to becoming a therapist.” Wade’s positive experiences as a supervisee inspired him to offer the same level of support and wisdom to new therapists. His focus is on helping supervisees navigate challenges such as countertransference, which can be both an obstacle and a valuable tool in therapy.

At Prasad Counseling and Training, our supervision is driven by a commitment to excellence and a desire to see new therapists succeed, says Stephanie Gold, LMSW and practice coordinator. “We understand the profound impact that effective supervision can have, and we are dedicated to providing the guidance, support, and insight needed to help you thrive in your career.”

Whether you need help navigating ethical dilemmas, understanding private practice, or managing the emotional demands of the job, we are here to ensure you are well-prepared for the challenges and rewards of a career in psychotherapy.

Dealing With the Death of A Co-worker

It might be heart disease, cancer, stroke, an accident or maybe even suicide… all eyes will be on the leader.

Get a critical incident responder to intervene on-site or virtually in the first few days after employees have been told. Timing can be critical a licensed professional will help workers understand and normalize symptoms that can include shock, inability to concentrate, difficulty solving problems, and anger.

Some people may even feel guilt because maybe they said no to spending time with the person who died or they had a disagreement with him or her. Working from home has made things a bit more complicated. Some people find grief more tolerable because they can walk across the hall and speak to a loved one while others are home alone.

In addition, workers may see changes in eating and sleeping patterns after getting the news. Some people might not sleep well or they may lose their appetites. Also the new workplace means people may be scattered around the country. A funeral or other services may not be reachable.

If you are a leader, your direct reports are looking to you for guidance. You don’t need to be a grief therapist, but you do need a critical incident responder.

Leadership is the second hardest job behind parenting. I’ve worked as a leader for television stations, hospitals, and outpatient/residential drug treatment centers. Whether it’s heads in front of a TV or heads in beds, the pressure is on leaders to produce results in a business environment that moves at the speed of social media.  I’ve taken my experience and the teachings of John Maxwell and Patrick Lencioni and combined them with what I learned in earning a certificate in leadership from the University of Houston- Downtown to produce the 17 Rules of Leadership for 2017.

Rule Number One:  There is no one!  There is no single book, certification, diploma or workshop that will give you all you need to know about leadership. This is an evolving target that shifts almost monthly calling on you to constantly be a student of leadership.

Rule Number Two: The rule of position. You don’t need a title or a credential to be a leader. People need to be led and a good leader knows you lead from where you are. 

Rule Number Three: The rule of charisma. Is charisma a must for a leader? While it helps, charisma is not a key component. Some leaders lack charisma – Bill Gates, for example. Sometimes the charismatic leader can suck the air out of a room with bombastic diatribes while failing to ask direct reports a key question: “What do you think?”

Rule Number Four: The rule of change. Expect challenges to change but don’t characterize it as resistance. Change prompts fear in many direct reports. 

• How will this influence my work hours? 
• Will I have to move to a new office? 
• Am I up to the task? 

Place a value on their feedback and explain why change is necessary. Help suck the air out of the trepidation balloon.  

Rule Number Five:  The rule of conversations. Understand how and when to have difficult conversations and when to overcome your anxiety. And remember: the conversation is the relationship.

Rule Number Six: The rule of 60/90. As a new leader or a leader promoted from inside, people will follow you because of your position or education. That comes to an end at about 60 to 90 days. In this time period you must show that you have the knowledge to get things done. Don’t rely on your title.  

Rule Number Seven: The rule of problem solving. You are in a leadership position to find solutions. Complaining because there are problems is equivalent to a dentist complaining because he has to work on teeth. The day direct reports stop bringing you their problems is the day they have lost confidence in you and have concluded you do not care.

Rule Number Eight: The Rule of Value. Do you know your team’s value? Have you said, “Thank You,” as part of an effort to show them that you value their work and want to invest in their growth? 

Rule Number Nine:  Rule of Fit.  Don’t hire the best candidate; hire the best candidate that fits your team. You can teach skills but you can’t teach personality. 

Rule Number 10:  Managers who compare direct reports to themselves and who often say, “I could have done that better and faster,” soon get frustrated. A leader must remember that he is not leading himself. If every direct report performed well, you wouldn’t need managers. 

Rule Number 11: Never have a corrective conversation with an employee when you are angry. Your body language may say more than what you are actually saying.

Rule Number 12: The rule of hiring slow. Use a combination of one-on-one and panel interviewing, ask behavioral questions and probe for understanding of the team concept. Hiring the wrong candidate wastes time and money, so take your time!

Rule Number 13: The Pottery Barn rule. Former Secretary of Defense Colin Powel once said, “You break it, you own it,” when discussing military incursions into the Middle East. The same can be said about hiring an employee who isn’t working out. You hired him/her, it’s not working, you fix it.

Rule Number 14: Leaders suffer. The higher you go, the more sacrifices you must make. Try to stay focused and optimistic while you drive change. 

Rule Number 15: The rule of 15 minutes. Meet with each direct report for at least 15 minutes two times a month. Building the relationship will help improve communication and performance while reducing progressive discipline and turnover. 

Rule Number 16: Learn to work with different generations. The workplace is almost evenly divided in thirds by Millennials, Gen Xers and Baby Boomers. Learn their motivations and what each group needs to succeed. 

Rule Number 17: Build, not break trust. Trust is built with ethical behavior, pulling back the curtain (releasing relevant information), not taking giving credit and acts of deception.

Leaders who follow “servant leadership” tenants and use power and influence to power high-performance teams will always have followers. Leaders who wield intimidation, dishonesty and deception rarely have followers, and a leader without followers is just a man taking a walk. 

Our new president gets 100 days to set a tone for leadership. Most business leaders, whether they are promoted from the inside or brought in from the outside, get 90 days. When surveyed, almost 90 percent of senior HR leaders agree that “transitions into new roles are the most challenging times in the professional lives of leaders (Watkins, 2013).”  They add, “The success or failure during the first few months is a strong predictor of overall success or failure in the job.”

Mastering Change

Building your understanding of transitions and your skill set surrounding those transitions is imperative for your success. In research done by Genesis Advisors, Harvard Business Review, and the International Institute of Management Development, respondents with almost 20 years of work experience reported:

• Four promotions 
• Moving between business functions about two times
• Joining a new company 3.5 times
• Moving geographically 2.2 times 

This comes out to about 14 major transitions per leader or one change every 1.3 years.  Given the number of personal seismic shifts that are disrupting your professional and personal lives (moving to a new city, uprooting your partner and your children), mastering change becomes a skill that is intricate involving navigating new roads, new paths, and new cultures.

Leadership Fears

Many of those challenges begin with understanding Metathesiophobia or Tropophobia. These pretentious terms are another way of saying fear often slaps you in the face when you face a new direction. As humans, we like routine, clarity, and habit. Those first 90 days mean stepping out of our comfort zones and, at times, feeling like you’re entering The Twilight Zone. While your transition may not completely mimic an unusual blend of superstition, comedy, and horror, the changes could come as frequently as the repeated cigarette puffs taken by Rod Serling.

Learn, learn, and Learn. Pulitzer once said the three most important things in a news story are accuracy, accuracy, and accuracy. Unless you have joined a turnaround that is a burning platform, take the first 30 days to learn the company’s history, culture, and personnel. Don’t fall prone to an action imperative that yells ready, shoot and aim! Your direct reports will appreciate your willingness to ask questions, listen, and not send a message that you know it all. 

Watch Now and Judge Later

(Six Tips for Navigating Management Transitions, 2017)

In your first 90 days, you’ll be lobbied from all directions – vertically and horizontally. You’ll be asked to produce resources, make personnel changes, reverse, slow, speed-up, or change processes. Hold the line especially when it comes to managing your supervisor’s expectations. Any rash moves or unsuccessful changes (especially if you discover you are trying to change a process put in place by your boss) could be calamitous at this stage. Sometimes the desire to make change is driven by a lack of self-confidence and the need to prove yourself. Instead, prove that you are patient, steady, and contemplative. 

If you have been promoted from within, don’t take it for granted that you don’t need 90 days to make the transition. You will be getting to know a new supervisor, the way he/she communicates, how the boss sees the company and most of all, how others (who may have been former peers) will react. Those who were passed over for the promotion you received may not be eager to watch you succeed. Others may believe that you are still one of them and will lobby for what they want including more money. Watch for early tests of your authority. Establish limits and expectations, and set boundaries. 

Focus On Your Most Important Resource

When you start diagnosing your new company, start with its most important resource – people. Meet individually or in groups (based on numbers) and ask a series of the same questions. Watkins (2013) says the questions might include:

• What are the biggest challenges the organization is facing or will face in the future?
• Why is the organization facing (or going to face) these challenges?
• What are the most promising unexploited opportunities for growth?
• What would need to happen for the organization to capitalize on these opportunities?
• If you were me, what should I focus attention on?

Asking the same questions is important for two reasons:

• When closed-door sessions start, employees will share information. If they learn you are asking the same questions, it should send the message that you are fair and not playing favorites among staff.
• Your plan is to produce data that you can report back to them in a later meeting. Asking the same questions will allow you to make comparisons.

Comparing Results

Get an understanding of whether each department is facing start-up challenges, a turnaround, accelerated growth, realignment, or sustaining success. Compare your results to how your department heads see this, then compare all findings to how your boss sees it. You must be on the same page. If you see a department as being in turnaround mode and you make rapid changes while staff and your boss see it as a realignment, your efforts could create confusion and animosity while fracturing your ability to build trust. 

As you strive to gain knowledge, secure simple early wins and build momentum while keeping your eyes on the prize – an early break-even point. For many executives, the point at which they stop drawing on company resources to make the transition and start making sizeable contributions can be at least six months. Your goal is to accelerate your growth as well as the growth of those around you as quickly as possible.  In Washington, our president gets 100 days as part of the peaceful transition of power that defines our democracy. You get 90 days as part of a pivotal career transition that may define your legacy as a leader. 

In fashion, the only thing that never goes out of style is good taste. “There are few things more attractive than a properly fitted suit,” says Susan Mishoe, President and CEO of Susan Mishoe. Dressing up for work takes some work. Here are some tips I have found helpful:

1. Find a good tailor: Cuffs and pant length are important- don’t come up short.
2. Go natural: 100% cotton shirts 100% of the time make the best impression.
3. Stay away from the curl: Look for shirts that use collar stays to avoid collar curl-up. Lost a stay? Find a paper clip.
4. $$$$: Big bucks aren’t necessary to buy a good suit: $300 on a suit paired with a tailor’s changes can make you look like a million dollars.
5. Hamm it up: A tapered leg can make a man appear taller and leaner. John Hamm would be proud. 
6. It doesn’t take a fortune to be fortunate for a great fitting shirt: Shop for bargains like those sometimes featured by Paul Fredrick and Charles Tyrwhitt who sell varied fits for men. If you want a better fit, take the shirt to a tailor for a more of a custom look.  
7. Add some polish: Without a $15 dollar shine your shoes might look like they are worth $49.99.
8. Step up: Buy quality shoes, your feet will thank you and people will notice! 
9. Put a sock on it: Buy quality socks that express a fashion sense and cover to at least half calf. No one wants to see your hair when you rest your ankle on your knee. Want your socks to last? Cut your toe nails. 
10. Get collared: Understand how different collars influence the look of your face. For example, a spread collar can exacerbate a thick neck or a wide face. A thin neck and face can be offset by a spread collar. Tired of your tie looking crooked? Have you considered a tab collar?
11. Get tied up: Do you know the differences between a four-in-hand, Half Windsor and Full Windsor?  There are designated ways to tie a tie based on the shirt collar. For example, a four-in- hand can look awkward with a spread collar. Windsors work best.
12. Inches matter: Unless you use your tie to conceal an open fly, that tie should not extend beyond your belt buckle
13. Match game: You lose this game if your belt doesn’t match the color of your shoes.
14. Buckle up: Buckles (especially a double monk) and laces go with dress suits. Save the loafers for a more casual look.
15. Be straight-laced: Lace your dress shoes in the straight or train track look. Crossovers are for athletic shoes! 

Well Dressed Even On a Budget

Your suit can be your work uniform. Looking good doesn’t take a Ph.D. in fashion or six figures in a bank account. Some inexpensive or free detail changes can be priceless. You can look detailed, sharp, and creative. Make your suit say that about you!
