Cognitive Regulation perspective
CR separates the parts of work stress you can actually change from the parts you cannot, then builds recovery back into the week so the cost stops compounding.
Common signs
- Dread on Sunday evening that has stopped lifting.
- Overwork masking anxiety about being 'found out'.
- Difficulty switching off after hours or on leave.
- Relationships at home paying the price for work stress.
