The most common concern people bring to psychological therapy is not a single diagnosis.
Instead, 9/10 clients I see report feeling
Fatigued
Exhausted 🥱
Absolutely drained 😓
They arrive saying:
• “I’m exhausted all the time”
• “I overthink everything”
• “I have no energy”
• “I am so drained”
There can be lots of reasons for this, and it’s always important to consider underlying medical issues (hence why your GP is always the best first point of contact!!).
Psychologically, fatigue can relate to:
⭐️ Chronic stress or anxiety
⭐️ Emotional overwhelm or burnout
⭐️ Feeling “flat,” disconnected, or numb
⭐️ Major depression or dysthymia
⭐️ Sleep disorders
⭐️ Substance use
⭐️ unhealthy lifestyles
⭐️ overworking
⭐️ perfectionism
… and many many more …
Underneath all of these is usually dysregulation, the nervous system stuck in survival mode (fight/flight, freeze, or fawn), often shaped by current, chronic or past stress or trauma (and trauma can include a raft of experiences, not necessarily than one obvious “big T” event).
From a trauma-informed lens, therapy becomes less about what’s wrong with you and more about what your system learned to do to survive, and how to gently help it feel safe again.
That’s where body-based approaches can be very helpful. Not to substitute evidence based psychological therapy, but as an add-on to help your body re-learn how to calm and re-energise.
And that’s why we have a team of mind & body practitioners and yoga teachers at am., to guide you to feeling safe, calm and confident in your own body again 😌
