Conflicts, obstacles, problems or seemingly hopeless situations in work and profession hold immense potential for growth. A potential to free oneself from old entanglements, to heal pain and to face truths. So what do the profession and the world of work have to do with our psychotraumas?
Much more than we think, see and also feel are the dynamics behind conflicts, decision-making problems and seemingly hopeless situations. It is important that we become aware of our perpetrator-victim dynamics as well as our servant attitudes.
"Someone sees me, I am important, I am praised or I am valued. And that is often an attempt to compensate for not having experienced being seen, being loved and being important in childhood."
