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. Tune in to learn about burnout and learn the importance of rest and recovery so you can live a more present, fulfilling life, with your best foot forward. You don’t want to miss this one!

Have you ever hit periods where you.
Feel overwhelmed, fatigued, or disconnected?
You are not alone.
Burnout is something we get so many questions about and have experience with ourselves.
Today we're going to dive deep into the neurology of burnout and functional freeze.
How does it happen?
What does it look like and what.
Can we do about it?
Welcome to Trauma Rewired, the podcast that teaches you about your nervous system, how trauma lives in the body, and what.
You can do to heal.
I'm your co host, Jennifer Wallace.
I am a neurosomatic psychedelic preparation and integration guide, and I'm also one of the educators at the neurosomatic intelligence coaching certification.
This is such a big and important topic, and it's a topic that's really intertwined with some other states, like chronic fatigue and depression.
And these experiences, they share a bunch of common characteristics, apathy, numbness, disconnection from ourselves and our social circles.
But there's also distinct nuances that we're going to explore.
And yeah, I am really excited about this topic because we've had a lot of questions from our listeners about this, including a recent email from a client.
And we also draw from our own experiences, which I think makes this discussion especially valuable for folks.
So this is the question we got recently.
I'd love to see a podcast or information on working with being in functional freeze response, in business development and building.
So we will definitely talk about that today.
