A listener writes in with a relatable issue: a colleague who double-checks everything, asks constant questions, and turns high-stakes work into a crawl. In this episode, Dr Liv and Dr Emma dig into the tension between psychological safety and performance.

They also discuss how to give kind, clear feedback without harming psychological safety. Our hosts explore triggers, values, and practical scripts to turn frustration into better teamwork.

• mapping when and why over-questioning happens
• reading psychological safety versus uncertainty
• turning feedback into a two-way dialogue
• asking for advice, not just feedback
• separating reactions from chosen behaviour
• spotting values behind triggers and stories
• fast regulation tools and longer-term mindset shifts
• practical steps: prep, meet, co-create solutions, review
