Recovery from mental, emotional or physical burnout can take years. Even if you start prioritizing rest and you start living a softer life, your nervous system remembers the burnout and/or the trauma. Understanding this and being gentle and patient with ourselves is key.

I’ve been working with a Craniosacral Therapist (releasing tension in the central nervous system to allow the other systems in the body to relax and self-correct) for years. I pursued this alternative treatment as a last resort. I’ve had live long digestive issues and nothing else has worked, other than diet and exercise somewhat. I was quickly diagnosed with “anxious tummy.” In other words, having to “digest” stress (and trauma response) actually compromises the body’s ability to digest the food we eat. I’ve done loads of individual therapy/group therapy/EMDR, re-birthing (plus additional stress relievers; meditation, yoga, swimming, writing, spending time with animals etc.), and nothing has worked as well as Craniosacral Therapy (and BodyTalk). Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
