We talk a lot about family dynamics, overcoming interpersonal offenses, and moving past stuck places in general. But what about trauma from work? That’s not something we hear a lot of people talk about, so it’s time to lay it all out on the table. Whew chile...prepare to be triggered.

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

Workplace Trauma [2:36]

• No different from really any other trauma as it relates to it being a stuck place.

• A lot of times we are forced to have to move past or to have to gloss over or to have to put aside because we need to earn money.

• We're a lot more inclined, and probably willing to stay in work relationships to SURVIVE.

How do workplace traumas happen? [16:59]

• People are just people

• Companies have different values

• Some of us stay in unhealthy relationships, for work and have that trauma and move forward with it

Navigating the haze of work stress [34:33]

• Create social committees for better employee retention

• Being in charge in small ways

• Have flexible work opinions

Firm up your boundaries [37:37]

• Introducing boundaries and mental health days.

• Redirecting energy from work during breaks

• Setting boundaries and saving time for yourself
