SHIFT Management

If you have been working for five years or longer, you likely have “work wounds” that caused you to watch your back, be on edge, or leave after experiencing something so hurtful you could not bear to be at that workplace any longer.

The presentation "Overcoming the Pain of Career Trauma" on June 11, 12 pm MDT, helps us understand the effects of these work wounds, (career traumas) on our nervous systems, behaviours and attitudes.

It offers strategies to help mitigate the harmful effects of career trauma, and create a sense of safety and control in our own nervous systems. A safe nervous system has the added benefit of increasing psychological workplace safety in those around us, contributing to happier, healthier workplaces.

Take back your confidence and expertise at work, by using nervous system-proven tools to improve your wellbeing, health, and ability to appropriately respond to work tasks.

Have workplace experiences left you feeling guarded, exhausted, or constantly on alert?

Career trauma is real — and it can quietly affect how you think, respond, trust, and show up at work.

If you’ve ever:
• Felt anxious before opening your email
• Lost confidence after a toxic work experience
• Stayed hyper-alert around coworkers or leadership
• Left a workplace feeling emotionally drained

…this session is for you.

Join “Overcoming the Pain of Career Trauma” and learn how nervous system-informed strategies can help you rebuild safety, confidence, and clarity at work.

Mindfulness Monday 🌿

One of the simplest and most effective self-calming tools I use daily is called self-havening.

It combines gentle touch, breathing, and visualization to help regulate your nervous system—especially during moments of stress or overwhelm.

Here’s a quick version you can try right now:
Close your eyes, take a few slow breaths, and gently stroke your arms from shoulders to elbows while imagining a peaceful place (like walking on a beach). Count slowly to 10.

That’s it. Simple, accessible, and powerful.

I also like using variations like:
- Stroking from palm to elbow
- Placing a hand on my heart and focusing on gratitude
- Gentle touch on the neck while breathing through a concern

The more you practice, the more natural and effective it becomes.

If you work in high-demand environments or support others, this is a great tool to add to your toolkit—for yourself and those you serve.

Have you tried self-havening before?

When something stressful happens, it’s often fast, loud, and overwhelming.

But the way back to safety?
It’s the opposite.

Gentle.
Quiet.
Slow.

One of the simplest ways to support your nervous system is something you’re already doing—breathing.

Try this:
Pause and notice your breath.

No need to change it.
Just observe the inhale… and the exhale.
Then notice how gentle it is.

This breath has been with you your entire life—steady, reliable, and constant. Supporting your body, calming your mind, and helping you reset.

You can deepen this by adding gentle touch:
Lightly stroke your throat, or soften your jaw, temples, or the sides of your head.

Breath + gentle movement = a powerful way to signal safety to your body.

Small practices like this can help you feel more grounded, calm, and present—even in difficult moments.
