Burnout Survival

Overwhelmed - but all alone?

So many of the clients I work with cite overwhelm as the/ one of the biggest burdens in their life. And you know what? They all also say they feel isolated or alone.

Growing wellness work suggests that interventions should have a component of breaking stress cycles, mindfulness, and network or support to help. Personally, I journal to gain focus and share what I can't work out with others. But preventatively I work on creating positive moments - fun days with family, picnics, listing gratitudes, meditating - doing what I can to reprogram my overwhelmed, tired brain.
