A phenomenological description of feeling not-good-enough in the workplace: The worth of worth

<p>Within feeling not-good-enough there are two types of experience. The first is the <em>chronic </em>experience, where feeling not-good-enough is an ongoing filter to perception, from which there is no escape or resolution. Here people’s experience of their sense of worth is damaged. The second is the <em>episodic </em>experience in which feeling not-good-enough is an episode that occurs, and for which there is always resolution, and people’s experience of their sense of worth is restored. A narrative description of the whole phenomenon is given through the two types of experience, the <em>chronic </em>and the <em>episodic.</em></p>
