While work can bring fulfilment and meaning to our lives, it can also hurt us.

When our jobs frequently activate our threat systems without adequate support structures in place we are at high risk of burnout and/or vicarious trauma. This can happen through repeated exposure to others’ suffering; working conditions that disable our innate regulatory systems; un-acknowledged neurodiversity needs; or a lack of psychological safety in the workplace.

This can lead to:

Avoidance and procrastination

Emotional exhaustion

Finding work meaningless and unfulfilling

Feeling you're not good enough

Having flashbacks or nightmares about work

Guilt about things you did or didn't do at work

Increased team conflict

Higher sickness levels

Poor employee retention
