  • Meet the Co-worker Who Spends Most of His Day Under the Desk

    08 November 2022
    Co-working spaces by their nature are diverse, meeting places for different nationalities, different languages, different industries, and sometimes even different species. Step into counsellor Dr Rick Stevens’ office at the Hive Central X CCG Commons, and first to greet you will be Tucker, the in-house therapy dog.

    “He looks relaxed, but it’s work for him,” notes Rick as he explains how the five-year-old was taught at a California institute, specialising in training service dogs for PTSD sufferers.

    Dr Smith’s main focus is to encourage change in his patients’ lives, creating and implementing plans that alter behaviour, therefore reducing anxiety and minimising avoidance.
    “When I work with people on change, the first step we spend a lot of time on is the cost of not changing, paying really close attention to what happens if we keep doing more of the same,” explains Rick.
    Dr Rick Smith & Tucker

    Using exposure therapy, Rick tackles a wide range of attention related problems that seem so ubiquitous in our fast-paced society. However, neither problem nor cure is exclusive to contemporary life.

    “This is the oldest and most successful form of therapy there is, that’s why I do it. 80% people get better when they go through about 10 to 15 rounds of treatment. You expose yourself to the thing that you’re afraid of and you get better,” explains the soft-spoken American.

    Tucker and Dr Smith might be different business partners to the ones you’re used to, but their professional relationship is counted upon by many diverse individuals looking to change the outcome of their lives.

    CCG COMMONS, a new arm of Chinachem Group, aims to develop innovative business models in response to the challenging economy and industry transformation. It covers a wide spectrum in the world of business, including counselling. Qubic smart booths are another innovative new workplace concept that allow people to “Plug and Work (or Play)”.
