The Behaviorist

In our latest episode of The Behaviorist, we explore the fascinating concept of "split personas"—how we create separate versions of ourselves for work and life. Drawing on the hit show Severance, Dr. Ryan Berardi, Dr. Alex Rohrer, and Emily Abbruzzese dive into the psychological cost of living with these dual identities. Are we sacrificing authenticity for safety? Can we truly integrate our personal and professional selves, or does the divide serve a deeper purpose? Tune in as we unravel these complex questions and discover practices that can support both our work and mental well-being.

Employee happiness has been in steady decline since 2020. In an article in Fast Company earlier this week, CEO and author Jenn Lim asked, “Why are employees so glum? They're no longer riding the ‘highs and lows' of their roles but instead shifted to ‘resignation and apathy'” writes Lim. “The true problem with employee engagement isn't a lack of motivation but a disconnect between the employee and the organization's purpose.”  Disengaged teams cost the global economy $8.8 trillion annually, but a massive individual cost exists, as well. “Workers aren't feeling a sense of purpose in their work, unable to see the alignment between their values or connections to what matters most,” Lim says.  As leaders, there are things we can do!

Psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes developed the concept, originally termed “imposter phenomenon,” in a 1978 study which focused on high-achieving women.
