Work garden

Solid ground

What this is

A hard, power-imbalanced relationship — a boss, a manager, a place that makes you small and follows you home as stress.

What it gives you

You'll leave with solid ground back under you, a clearer head, and a boundary you can actually hold — without exploding and without swallowing it all. You reclaim your sense of worth in an unequal setup.

How the guide leads

Humiliation at work spins thoughts sharper and more helpless than they need to be — saying them out loud restores proportion. The guide won't pretend you're equals, tends to your feelings and needs, and helps you protect yourself where the setup is uneven.
