How to Leave Work at Work: Recover Your Energy and Reconnect With Yourself

Workplace Absorption Specialist, Leadership Trainer, and Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach who helps people stop absorbing the emotions, pressure, and dysfunction of work so they can recover, reconnect, and enjoy life outside of work.

When work follows you home, most people assume they have a stress problem or a burnout problem.

But for many people, the real problem is something different: absorption.

Absorption is the tendency to unconsciously internalize the emotions, urgency, and dysfunction of the people and systems around you, making it difficult to fully recover and be present for the people and activities that matter most.

Workshop Takeaways:
• A deeper understanding of why work affects you the way it does
• A practical framework for identifying absorption patterns
• Tools to process workplace stress and difficult emotions
• A guided workbook to continue the work after the workshop
• Immediate strategies you can begin using the same day
