Gratitude is important in the professional setting in many ways. I feel that it is important to both give gratitude and receive gratitude from coworkers and clients. Gratitude makes you respect the people you are caring for and helps others respect you. Members of an inter-professional team can demonstrate gratitude by saying a simple thank you when a coworker picks up a simple task for you.

One strategy that I use to decompress is taking a couple minutes to myself to comprehend what is going on and to think to myself how I can achieve whatever is going on. Yes this is a strategy that could be used in a professional setting, but also if I was struggling with what was going on my coworkers would be there for me to talk to and to come up with a conclusion on what to do in certain patient situations.
