In this episode of Ergasia, we continue the exploration of the book Hard Work Never Killed Anyone: How the Idolisation of Work Sustains this Deadly Lie by John Bottomley, published by Morning Star Publishing in 2015.
How do modernity's beliefs about work silence the victims of work related harm? How does modernity's understanding of and response to trauma pathologize the victims of injustice and label them as "sick"? How does the self-helpism of traditional support groups lead to the victims of work related harm being co-opted by the very idolatry by which they have been victimised? How does the companioning model of grief support break this cycle and enable "wounded healers" to bring a new freedom to both the bereaved and their carers?
