If you’ve ever found yourself tearing up at work - not in the moment with a patient, but just from the weight of it all - you’re not alone.
In this ‘Sauna Chat’, Dr Thea and Paula talk about what that teariness really is: a sign of nervous system dysregulation. A sign that the load is too much.
So many of us carry empathic distress, vicarious trauma, and the emotional heaviness of holding space for complex cases day after day.
And if we’re not careful, it can tip us into burnout, collapse, and that feeling of just not being able to cope.
But here’s the thing: recognition is the first step.
You can start to get curious about why you’re dysregulated in the first place - and whether the way you’re working is actually sustainable.
This is exactly what we’ll be exploring in our Practitioner Program and Immersive Retreat Experience (April 2026): how to understand your own nervous system, what moves you into dysregulation, and how to build the capacity to do this work with joy and vibrancy instead of depletion.
Because you deserve to feel alive in your work, not just surviving it.
