Workplace Trauma Coaching
Recover from adversity and traumatic experiences in the workplace
Most of us have likely experienced a traumatic event, yet, each of their experiences is wholly unique. Workplace trauma can stem from distressing events or conditions perceived as physically or emotionally harmful such as:
- workplace bullying or harassment
- unfair treatment
- high-stress conditions
- long, unsocial or inflexible hours
- overwork & burnout
- toxic bosses or cultures
- job insecurity, inadequate pay or poor investment in career development
- unrealistic expectations
- witnessing traumatic incidents involving others
When trauma strikes, our body and mind enter survival mode, leaving us in a state of high alert. This can impair your performance at work and alter your self-perception, worldview, and sense of identity. Some common signs and symptoms someone impacted with trauma may exhibit:
- High sensitivity to sensory stimuli, feeling reactive, on edge or overwhelmed
- Persistent trouble focusing and concentrating
- Chronic pain or fatigue
- Challenges with setting/maintaining healthy boundaries
- Sleep dysfunction
- Increased defensiveness, feeling targeted when receiving feedback and challenged with taking accountability for actions
- Loss of ability to trust others, the organization, systems and feel connected to the work
- Limited self-efficacy, feeling like nothing you can do will make a difference
- Social withdrawal
Workplace trauma, just like any other type of trauma, can indeed be healed through the right recovery experiences.
Together, we’ll identify the roots of your trauma and work with the emotional and somatic responses it causes. By focusing on resilience-building techniques, enhancing coping strategies and fostering a supportive environment I will help you regain emotional balance, resilience, and strength to process your traumatic experiences and recuperate towards a brighter “Mellon”.
