When your mind is spiralling out of control with ruminating thoughts or you are waking up numerous times with worries it is very often a stress response caused by burnout. This can manifest as a range of symptoms including overwhelm, anxiety, insomnia, irritability, exhaustion, numbness, resignation and depression too.
Juggling a perpetual to-do list, whether at work or at home. Feeling weighed down by responsibility, obligations and expectations.
These can quickly tip over into overwhelm if we don’t have enough capacity or agency. Leading to a sense of constriction in time and space and often movement (freeze response).
Navigating the world at this moment of chaos and significant, rapid change can also be extremely challenging on many levels and can feed info overwhelm and fuel burnout.
At these points we often dissociate from our body and jump into our heads. It’s a deeply engrained programme within us.
Somatic enquiry offers a very gentle and tender space to help you re-establish a deeper connection to your embodied state.
An invitation to slow down, regulate and witness what is arising in somatic awareness, with the support of movement, breathing, sound and shared compassionate curiosity.
For anyone interested in reconnecting more fully to your body’s wisdom and wanting support for a myriad of burnout symptoms, I offer an initial introductory session at 1/3rd off for £50.
This session is a chance to experience somatic enquiry for yourself, understand how it works and feel the benefits of reconnecting with your body’s wisdom.
Further information about these sessions can be found on my website here or Please drop me a message if you would like to know more or to book a session.
