DESCRIPTION – The front line of combustion. This is how Elise Fabing describes the “ball in the stomach”, this state where the body speaks before the mind, in her book: It starts with a tumor in your stomach.
In a book in which he singles out occupational distress and women as a priority, the Paris-based lawyer specializing in labor law discusses at length the physical and mental suffering of burnout, which affects 12% of working people… as the privilege of being recognized as an occupational disease (but as a long-term illness). Behind this Englishness we find the awkwardness associated with infernal cadences and others. deadlines impossible, the command to be perfect everywhere when a child is born, moral or sexual abuse, racism and casual sexism, the glass ceiling…
Elise Fabing knows all these realities because half of her time as a lawyer is devoted to psychological help. Written with journalist Jules Thomas, It starts with a lump in my stomach (Éditions Les Arènes) is a book that shares with humanity the tears shed in the office, the small victories and the big defeats (or vice versa)
