"This gave me the feeling that I was not alone facing these problems."

These sessions were reinforcing to me at the time, since I was feeling rather unorganized in the new job and felt
that that I had little direction, as a result of  having so many supervisors in such a short time. These sessions gave me a positive outlook on the situation as well, and helped me adapt to the ongoing changes within the organization, and the difficulties of adjusting to the dynamics of the group.

It was like having a mentor, and I felt that I could easily bounce off some of the difficulties encountered. Although these were not problem solving sessions, I often felt that I had a better understanding of  the situation and felt better equipped to find alternatives to deal with the situation after these sessions.
