Single-speaker YouTube short (Ashish Kothari) offering brief coaching on workplace emotional regulation.

So think about the reactive structures through which we show up at work. Those moments of triggers. When we say the trigger is out there. That person triggers me, that situation triggers me, that dynamic interaction triggers me. Know that the trigger is actually you. The other is providing a stimulus. The journey is from within. The journey to recognize, discover and make a shift. And it's not easy to do it unless you actually work on regulating your emotions and down regulating from a fight flight freeze, amygdala hijack moment one which is grounded.
