Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- In hard conversations I fire back from the gut and instantly wish I’d said it differently
- I calm down for a minute with my eyes closed, but the second I open them and step back into the room I snap right back into the same tight, tunnel-visioned reactivity
- It’s not one crisis moment
- I bounce from one meeting straight into the next with no gap, and I carry the tension and half-finished thoughts of each one into the one after
- I run on autopilot all day and the stress just quietly stacks up unnoticed until I’m suddenly snapping or fried
