78 | Workplace Harm: Who's Most Vulnerable and Why Rethinking Workplace Culture Matters | Monica Amorosi

  • Summary

  • Work is a fundamental part of our lives, yet the workplace can be a uniquely vulnerable space for experiencing trauma. In this episode of Beyond Trauma, Monica Amorosi helps us explore why trauma in the workplace is particularly complex—because we bring our whole selves into our jobs, and because most of us rely on our jobs for survival. We discuss the rapid social and political changes affecting workplace safety, the different types of stress and their impact, and how to recognize the signs of an unsafe work environment. Monica breaks down what it truly means to have a trauma-sensitive workplace, including practical steps to make yourself a safer person at work and to create an environment where harm is acknowledged and addressed. Some key topics we cover: ✅ The four different types of stress—and which one is the most harmful ✅ The two pathways to becoming trauma-sensitive at work ✅ Why environments often make exceptions for perpetrators rather than those harmed ✅ How to recognize if you're experiencing workplace insensitivity—or perpetuating it ✅ The Diathesis Stress Model and who is most vulnerable at work ✅ What it means to take a harm reduction approach to workplace culture Monica reminds us that there’s no such thing as a stress-free workplace—but there is such a thing as a trauma-sensitive one. If you’re a leader, an employee, or someone navigating workplace challenges, this episode is packed with insights on creating a culture of safety and support.
