Business and Work — Psychology Under Plateaus
The worth wound in vocational and entrepreneurial life
The patterns that create plateaus in business and career are almost never strategic problems. They are psychological ones. The entrepreneur who cannot charge what their work is worth, the professional who cannot advocate for themselves in negotiations, the creator who cannot complete a project — these are the attachment wound and worth wound operating in the vocational domain.
The wound pattern
Business plateaus are often the visible surface of invisible nervous system rules: this much success is safe, this much visibility is permitted, this much money does not violate the family system's implicit contract.
The healing path
The healing path in business requires making the implicit contract legible. Once the nervous system rule that is maintaining the plateau becomes visible — once you can name the specific worth wound that is setting the ceiling — the ceiling becomes negotiable.
