About

When did rest start requiring a justification? For a lot of the people I meet, the answer is so long ago that they no longer notice they are asking permission to sit down. Chronic stress does something specific: it narrows your attention to the next urgent item until the larger shape of your life goes unexamined for years at a time. We widen that view deliberately. Some of the work is logistical and unglamorous, and some of it is about the belief that your worth is contingent on output, which is usually where the real trouble lives. We also look at what you would do with the room if it appeared, which is a harder question than it sounds. My earlier working life was in an entirely different field, one that ran on exactly the same fuel, so I recognize the pattern from the inside. I got out, though it took me a while to understand what it had cost. If you want to look at yours honestly, get in touch.
