It's called emotions.
"But there's no place for emotions in the workplace..."
Science disagrees.

When emotions are repressed, they show up as:
-
Chronic pain & inflammation β More sick days
-
Increased substance use

Bullying & harassment
-
Daily stress, anxiety, depression

Burnout
Emotions aren't the problem.
Emotional illiteracy is.

Book A Call To Discuss Your NeedsEmotional literacy is about feeling reference, not feeling reverence.
We'veΒ become stuck thinking "talking about emotions" means dwelling on everything, when what actually creates change is learning to decode feelings as information about unmet needs.
When people don't know how to identify, talk about, or regulate feelings, they stay stuck in the "Frustration Triangle":
Β
BLAME mode β Fractious relationships, no agency, stuck in resentment
SHAME mode β Paralysis, depression, inability to ask for support
HUSTLE mode β Burnout, perfectionism, exhaustion
This is costing you in retention, innovation, and performance.
