INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
When a boss’s email, meeting request, or tone of feedback feels disproportionately intense, it may not be about the present moment alone. For many people, workplace dynamics can quietly reactivate older emotional patterns tied to childhood experiences of criticism, invisibility, powerlessness, or conditional approval. This episode explores how that happens—and how to recognize when the nervous system is responding to the past, not just the job.
In this episode:
- Why authority figures at work can unconsciously resemble early caregivers
- How simple workplace feedback can trigger shame, fear, or collapse
- The role of childhood experiences in shaping adult stress responses
- Why “professionalism” can sometimes override emotional self-protection
- How to tell the difference between present-day feedback and old emotional memory
- What it means to stay grounded when the body reacts before the mind can interpret
