Unresolved trauma doesn’t just go away (as much as many of us try to stuff it down or “forget about it”). One of the places it can leak out sideways is at work. In this video, we cover some of the following common examples of how trauma shows up at work:
- Being the office doormat
- Not speaking up for ourselves or setting boundaries
- Taking feedback as harsh criticism and as reasons we fail at the job/part of our self worth
- Being overly hard on ourselves for mistakes or errors
- Not putting ourselves out there by voicing our ideas, applying for jobs, or pursuing self-employment
