Doing some research, I'm unsure if emotional labor is the correct phrase we should use in this context. I know it's come to mean "doing emotional work", but it originally meant having to regulate one's emotions as part of a job. Any thoughts?

That's a really good point. I'm not sure I know of a better succinct phrase to describe it, but I will definitely think on it. Let me know if you come up with any ideas!

Something like "emotional bandwidth" might get across the same idea?

Closed with wording change #25 per discussion here. Unless anyone things that we should add further explanation about this?
