Rest isn’t hard because you’re doing it wrong. It’s hard because your nervous system learned that staying busy was safer than slowing down.
A simple place to start:
Try micro-rest instead of full stillness.
30 seconds of grounding. One deep exhale. Noticing your feet on the floor. Let your body learn that pause doesn’t equal danger.
This is the kind of work we support in therapy. Not forcing rest, but building safety first.
If this resonates, message us.
We thoughtfully match you with a therapist who fits your needs, goals, and style, so you don’t have to navigate this alone.
