magine a flame that isn’t receiving adequate fuel, slowly dying down. This is a great visualization of what happens in the body when we are experiencing burnout. When we push past our capacity and boundaries, while doing things that may not be authentic or aligned with us, we are essentially burning through our reserves faster than we can replenish them. This is so common for people to experience in our society, with so many pressures to do more constantly. The demand it has on our physical, mental, and emotional health is greater than we think. This is not to villainize growth, growth is good, but taking the time for rest and recovery is essential for that growth to be sustainable. In this episode, our hosts Elisabeth and Jennifer discuss what burnout means, and dive deep into the science behind what happens in the body when we push ourselves further than our capacities can handle, and end up feeling tired, dissociated, and uninspired. They touch on the warning signs of burnout, as well as possible causes, such as social media, self abandonment, attachment styles, and socioeconomic pressures. The Western world rewards those who push themselves whether that is through physical training, needing to be at every event to maintain social connections, or even in our own somatic healing. Doing more, in less time, has become so intertwined in our culture, it’s no wonder so many of us experience high levels of stress and burnout, when it doesn’t have to be that way.
