Welcome to Workplace Therapy, the podcast where workplace relationships finally get the therapy they’ve always needed. Whether you're burned out from boundary-less coworkers, stuck in a people-pleasing loop with your boss, or dreading yet another “quick” check-in from a micromanaging manager, Abby has the insight and attitude you’ve been craving. With decades of experience as a psychologist, organizational consultant, and no-nonsense New Yorker, Abby delivers research-backed tips and strategies you can use today. No fluff. No vague leadership lingo. Just honest talk about the human side of work and how to finally feel energized and confident in your career again. Hosted on Acast.

It's how we grow, how teams improve, how managers develop their people, how problems get surfaced before they become disasters. And yet most people either dread receiving it, avoid giving it, or deliver it so carefully that nothing useful gets communicated. Today, I’ll tell you the reason feedback is so hard (spoiler alert: it’s not a communication skills problem, it’s a nervous system problem), and how to give and receive feedback with ease. ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/feedback-nervous-system-at-work Download the free Feedback Reset Card, your guide to preparing to give and receive feedback without your nervous system running the show: https://abbymedcalf.com/feedback-reset-card Join my online community, One Love Collective, on Substack: https://abbymedcalf.com/substack .
