. Maybe it’s a feeling of boredom, insecurity or frustration of working on a project.

They’re afraid of whatever is on the other side of getting this stuff done,” she explains, whether it’s fear of success and not knowing what’s next, or fear of failure that is tied to feelings of rejection and abandonment. “Understanding this, we want to create an environment where you believe that that pain is going to lead to pleasure, so we can focus on what happens after the work is finished,” she says. “‘It’s going to feel really good because it’s completed; I’m getting the recognition from my boss,’ or maybe, ‘I’m going to treat myself because I got it done.’”
