Occupational Trauma: The Neurobiology of the Toxic Colleague | Ep 75

Workplace bullying is a form of repetitive, low-level trauma. In this episode of No Nonsense Psychiatry, we look at how "Gaslighting" and "Exclusion" trigger the same pain centers in the brain as physical assault (the Anterior Cingulate Cortex). We explore why the brain cannot "just ignore it" when its social survival is threatened. We provide three actionable reasons why chronic workplace stress leads to Glucocorticoid Resistance, causing systemic inflammation and brain fog.
