2026/10/06

Your mind goes blank in a meeting, you reread the same email five times, and somehow you still tell yourself you should be able to handle it. We unpack why that loss of clarity under work stress is often a predictable nervous system response, not a motivation problem. I’m Cheryl Parris, a clinical hypnotherapist and stress recovery coach, and I’m joined by Hannah Curman to map what’s happening in the body when pressure starts to feel like threat. We talk about cortisol, the prefrontal cortex...

2026/10/05

A message lands in your inbox and it’s flawless: calm tone, empathetic phrasing, even a nod to “safe space” and open communication. Then you get into the actual conversation and suddenly you’re measuring every word, softening your point, and walking away wondering if you were “too sensitive.” That disconnect is more common than we admit and it’s a fast track to work stress and anxiety. I dig into a simple but powerful idea: emotionally intelligent language and emotionally intelligent behavio...

Work Stress Anxiety | Burnout Prevention & Work... ·

2026/10/05

Three words can hijack your whole morning: “Can we talk?” Before you’ve even opened the message, your stomach drops, your shoulders tighten and your mind is already six corridors ahead, trying to work out what has gone wrong. In this episode, we explore hypnotherapy for stress through one of the most familiar patterns in workplace anxiety: the moment your internal alarm reacts before you have enough evidence to know what is actually happening. This isn’t about forcing yourself to calm down or...

Breathe Before You React: Relieving Work Stress...

Work Stress Anxiety | Burnout Prevention & Work... ·

2026/10/01

Your workplace isn’t the only thing triggering you. Sometimes what looks like “I’m reacting to my boss” is actually an older emotional pattern waking up and running the same script again. Cheryl is joined by Deepak Chari for a grounded conversation on work stress, workplace anxiety, and the small, practical shifts that help you respond differently when “just calm down” feels impossible. We start with the most accessible lever you have all day: your breath. Deepak explains how stress shows up...

2026/09/30

A single message from your boss can land like a punch, even when you tell yourself it is “not a big deal”. We dig into why work stress and anxiety can spike so fast and why the reaction often feels bigger than the moment. I’m joined by Deepak, who has spent decades helping people understand triggers, subconscious patterns, and the emotional “source code” we carry from earlier experiences. The goal is not to label you as broken; it is to help you stop blaming yourself and start making sense of...

How Your Subconscious Turns Work Stress Into Habit

Work Stress Anxiety | Burnout Prevention & Work... ·

2026/09/30

Stress doesn’t always feel like stress. Sometimes it feels like a “normal” Tuesday, a full inbox, another meeting, and the quiet sense that you’re holding your breath all day. In this conversation, we dig into what’s really happening when work stress and anxiety sit in the background for so long that you stop noticing the cost, even as your body starts waving a white flag through tension, irritability, shutdown, or sleep loss. I’m joined by Deepak, who shares how subconscious patterns can ov...

When AI Makes You Look More Capable Than You Feel

2026/09/29

That little spike of panic when someone asks, “Can you explain that part?” is becoming a normal workplace feeling, especially when AI helped write the original answer. We’ve all seen it: the email reads smooth, the wording sounds smart, and the work looks done. Then the conversation shifts, the scenario changes slightly, and we realise we don’t fully understand what we just sent. That is where work stress and anxiety can sneak in, not because we’re incapable, but because modern tools can crea...

Is Work Stress Becoming Bigger Than the Facts?

2026/09/28

A three line email lands at 4:45 pm and suddenly your whole evening belongs to it. Not because the message is long, but because your mind starts filling in the blanks: What did they mean, did I disappoint someone, is this the start of a bigger problem? I’m Cheryl Parris, a clinical hypnotherapist and stress recovery coach, and I want to help you spot the exact moment when a real work difficulty quietly turns into a statement about who you are. We explore the difference between two very...

Why is work still hijacking my head when I've already logged off? Setting a boundary means nothing if it never changes what you do, and that single line can stop you in your tracks. Cheryl Paris is joined by Stephanie for a grounded conversation about work stress, anxiety, and the emotional cost of always being the dependable one. We get honest about what happens after burnout, especially when you return to work and realise the world expects the “old you” back on full power. We dig int...

2026/09/23

I'm shattered. Why is my brain still acting like the day isn't over? Praising burnout is quite a dangerous ordeal. When you’re the dependable one, the fixer, the person everyone relies on, it can look like strength right up until it starts costing you sleep, peace, and self-respect. We sit with a tough question: at what point does being reliable quietly become self-sacrifice, and what has to change for you to stop sliding into that role on autopilot? Stephanie joins me to break down wh...

2026/09/22

Why does one honest boundary feel like a confession of guilt? If “being dependable” is your default, boundaries can feel like betrayal, even when you’re drowning. Cheryl Paris is joined by EMDR specialist Stephanie McCallister for a candid look at why high-functioning people can look totally fine on the outside while running on fumes inside and how that gap quietly feeds workplace stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. We dig into what boundaries actually mean (with other people an...

I closed the laptop. Apparently my brain didn't get the memo. You can be great at your job and still feel like you’re quietly unraveling. If you’ve ever thought, “I should be able to handle this by now,” while you lie awake replaying a conversation from twelve hours ago, you’re not alone and you’re not broken. We dig into why work stress and work anxiety can hit hardest when you’re the competent one: the person others rely on, the person who keeps things steady, the person who can function un...

2026/09/18

Resentment can feel ugly, but sometimes it’s your clearest signal that responsibility has started to blur. We share a personal moment that many high-functioning women will recognise: juggling work, study, and life, then getting a seemingly simple request from family that lands like one more demand on an already empty battery. Saying no is the easy part. The hard part is sitting with guilt, disappointment, and the old habit of trying to manage someone else’s reaction. From there, we connect t...

Why does one small work message pull me straight back into pressure? Wellness advice is everywhere, but when you’re already tired and stretched thin, it can feel like the internet is yelling a thousand different fixes at you at once. Cheryl Paris sits down with Tierra to slow things down and answer the real question: where do you start when you’re overwhelmed, juggling work and family, and noticing your body changing in ways you didn’t expect? We talk about why a trusted healthcare provider i...

2026/09/16

Work is over, so why does it still feel like I'm in it? “I’m just stressed” can be true and still miss the point. When stress becomes the background noise of your life, it can start masking what your body is actually trying to tell you, especially if you’re a high-functioning woman juggling work, home, relationships, and the pressure to keep it together. We slow down and ask a sharper question: when does stress stop being a useful explanation and become a signal to look underneath the surface...

Personal Failure? When high-achieving women keep renegotiating their work boundaries, it's not weakness—it's your nervous system anxiety trying to protect you. In this episode, Cheryl reveals why capable women dismiss body anxiety signals as failure and uncovers the hidden pattern behind boundary collapse.

You shut your laptop, but your nervous system stays wired. Tight jaw, shallow breathing, jumpiness at notifications—this is work stress that doesn't clock out.

Contact us by whatsapp on +447485622662- let us know what you think of this episode. Work can be meaningful and still be a trap. When achievement becomes identity, even small feedback can feel like a verdict, and “high standards” start looking a lot like anxiety, people pleasing, and a nervous system that never gets to rest. Cheryl sits down with Dr Carla Caturia to untangle the achievement trap and the moment ambition quietly turns into self-abandonment. We talk about the tell...
