A Discussion on Burnout

  Burnout has been the topic of discussion across much of the social media hemisphere in the past few months. There appears to be a sharp uptick in cases in the past few years, especially with the uncertainty of various outside stressors like the job market or tariffs.

DBT Skills for Overwhelming Moments

Image
  There are moments when emotions may feel more than uncomfortable. They might seem too fast, too intense, or just too much to endure. These emotions might come up in any number of daily experiences.

Somatic Experiencing® (SE), developed by Dr. Peter Levine, is a body-based therapeutic approach that helps people gently renegotiate trauma by noticing physical sensations, supporting nervous system regulation, and restoring a sense of safety and ease. Rather than diving into the details of what happened, SE focuses on how the body has stored the experience-and how we can help it finally complete unfinished stress cycles. Somatic Experiencing can be a good fit for anyone who feels stuck in patterns of anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, dissociation, or chronic tension. It’s also commonly beneficial for folks with a history of trauma, including complex trauma, as well as individuals navigating chronic pain, medical trauma, burnout, or symptoms that feel “beyond words.” SE is gentle, paced, and collaborative...
