You may be doing everything possible to stay steady — managing tone, holding boundaries quietly, fixing problems you didn’t create, and avoiding fallout that wasn’t yours.
Yet the pressure still finds you. This isn’t about your competence, personality, or resilience. It’s about where your organisation places its weight.

What This Guide Helps You See

Your Path Through This Guide
This guide walks you through eight short pages:
- Harm Thermodynamics Overview
- Thermal Load & Boundary Membranes
- Primary Heat Sites
- Thermal Conductivity Pathways
- Absorption Imperative
- False Coolant Responses
- Insulative Actors
- Heat Redistribution Map (Tools Page)
Each page gives you structure and language — so your experience becomes something explainable, not something you silently carry.

This guide helps you name it — and put the weight back where it belongs.
