Surviving The Workplace Jungle 

8-week program, small vetted group

Tackle “difficult” work experiences with the right support for the whole of it, to actually move forward

“People aren’t taught to talk about work or deal with issues. This was more grounding than anything I’d done before. It really helped me make sense of the world, myself and the present, and move forward.”

Hi,
I'm Subarna, Tonik’s founder. 
The “right support” is transformative but often a hit or miss. I know because I’ve weathered my own setbacks, watched people I love do the same, and built solutions to support the health and wellbeing of others.
Work is a case in point – it can be deeply fulfilling and also a source of distress. I’ve worn many hats at work – throughout, I’ve seen and experienced the toll of dysfunction that capable professionals carry quietly, unsure where to turn. Support is fragmented, lacking rigor – and often fails to move people forward meaningfully. 
Surviving the Workplace Jungle is designed to fill this gap, with research-backed support to address the complete experience for meaningful progress.
Tonik exists to help you move through life’s complexities and thrive with the “right” support. Surviving the Workplace Jungle is where we begin.
It’s in beta right now making it especially accessible. If this might help you, reach out — and pass it to others who might need it.
Warmly,

A “difficult” work situation can be devastating

It lands like a punch in the gut — often with no clear answers.

“Is this annoying - or toxic?” 

“What is even happening?”

“Do I fix it or escalate? Stay or quit?”

“Where do I go from here?”

It erodes your confidence, clouds your thinking and leaves you feeling deeply alone.

Labels are simple — gaslighting, narcissism, scapegoating. Real life is complex.

You need expert nuanced support to:

  • feel grounded and confident
  • decode behaviors and patterns
  • take charge with the right insights and skills
  • make structured progress with a strategy that's yours

Participants said:

“When something happens at work we always come back to ‘what could I have done differently’. This helps you understand what you’re up against and how to navigate it vs. fixating on what you could have done.” 

“It was wonderfully affirmative. It made me feel confident, optimistic, and less of a victim. Understanding the emotional side of practical things and the complexity issues was very grounding.” 

Who it’s for 

Self-respecting strategic professionals navigating or recovering from a “difficult” work experience.

Whiteknuckling through it can make it worse.

Friends and family help. Workshops, webinars and "courses" offer hope.

But you want to show up for yourself fully. 

Build yourself up and thrive — at work and beyond. 

With support designed with rigor for your complete experience.

Participants said:

"I understood the practical issues much better, and saw different paths out of the same situation. It gave me real clarity."

"Having other people's experiences to draw on helped so much. I snapped out of feeling like a victim, and the shame that was weighing me down. Hearing how people picked themselves up was really inspiring."

Support as it should be 

Address the full picture

Meet every need that matters — how you see the situation, plus your psychological, physiological, and practical needs.

Draw on – the latest research from workplace research, psychology, behavioral science, neuroscience etc. – and lived experience.

Make systematic tailored progress:

  • Rich research-backed resources
  • Structured frameworks to build resilience, skills, and strategy
  • A personalized journey — not a one-size-fits-all webinar or workshop

More than 1:1 or standard group support.

A format designed to build you up in ways other formats can't.

Participants said:

"It wasn't just positive psychology. It was peaceful, and yet it moved me forward in a way I hadn't experienced before. It helped me actually understand my imposter syndrome — not just 'keep pushing' — and it was informed and action-oriented."

"The discussion was real, transparent, but safe — no pressure to perform, network, or mentor. The exercises, the facilitation, the group's perspectives all made it even better."

FAQs

Is this only for people in toxic workplaces? 

No. It is for a wide range of difficult situations—from confusing or draining dynamics to more overtly harmful behavior. Many people join because they are confused about what is happening. The program can help you develop a clearer vocabulary and perspective without forcing your experience into a label.

How big is the group?

Small by design — 6–8 people, brought together through the intro conversation so the group fits well.

Can I join if the situation happened in the past?

Yes, of course. Closure, learning from it, being better prepared for the future – and recovering your confidence – are all meaningful goals.

Is this therapy?

No. It's not psychotherapy, medical care, or medical advice, and not a substitute for licensed treatment. No provider-client relationship is established, and if you need clinical or crisis care, please seek it from a qualified provider. What it is: an expertly facilitated, research-backed, richly curated program of education, skill-building, and peer support for complex issues — the kind of help that can be life-changing, and is often missing even when clinical care is in place.

How much do I have to share? 

You choose. You'll never be pushed to speak beyond your comfort level, and you can take part without disclosing identifying details. Many people are surprised by how much they get from simply listening and reflecting.

What happens after I submit the form?

Subarna reviews every form personally. If it looks like a fit, a short intro conversation follows — a chance for both of us to be sure.

Why not drop-in sessions, webinars, or workshops?

Because they're easy for us but not enough for you. Real progress needs a layered journey — time, resources, and continuity to build resilience, insight, and strategy. Our format takes far more work to run, but it's the support you actually need and deserve.

Is this confidential?

Absolutely. Nothing is recorded. Tonik will never share anything with any third party — all information stays strictly confidential and anonymized, even internally. We also have mechanisms for participants to protect the cohort’s privacy.

Will my employer know?

Tonik does not work with or contact employers. Sessions are not recorded, and participant information is treated as confidential.
