Unresolved Trauma at Work: Boundaries, Burnout, and Building Safer Teams — Dr. Rebecca Payne

Unresolved Trauma at Work: Boundaries, Burnout, and Building Safer Teams — Dr. Rebecca Payne

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with licensed psychologist Dr. Rebecca Payne to examine how unresolved trauma shows up at work—from micromanagement and perfectionism to dissociation, people-pleasing, and chronic burnout. We break down red flags leaders should not ignore, why psychological safety drives performance and retention, and practical boundary resets employees can start today. This is a direct, no-fluff guide to trauma-informed culture, sustainable productivity, and healthier team dynamics

About the guest :

Dr. Rebecca Payne is a California-based licensed psychologist who translates clinical psychology into clear, useful conversations about anxiety, relationships, money, identity, and behavior patterns. She helps individuals and organizations recognize trauma echoes and build safer, more effective ways of working.

Key takeaways :

  • Trauma travels to work: micromanagement, shutdown during feedback, dissociation in meetings, and perfectionism can be trauma echoes impacting team performance.

  • Two common trauma responses: hyperarousal (defensiveness, quick anger) vs. dissociation (zoning out, forgetting), each with distinct risks at work.

  • Boundary pitfalls: chronic yes-saying and overwork are boundary issues that accelerate burnout and harm results.

  • Leader red flags: excessive people-pleasing, distrust of authority, poor sleep/visible stress, tearfulness, or freeze responses signal deeper issues.

  • Psychological safety pays: trauma-informed environments innovate more, perform better, and retain longer—it’s operationally smart, not just “nice.”

  • Start small with “no”: assess your workload realistically and practice low-stakes no’s; protect workouts and personal time to rebuild capacity.

  • Name your pattern: invite feedback—e.g., “If I start to control details, call it out”—to open safer, non-therapeutic workplace dialogue.

  • Body as data: notice heart rate, sweating, or memory blanks after meetings; those signals can map what needs healing.
