Most suffering is not a sign of personal failure.
It is fragmentation.

We exile aspects of ourselves to preserve belonging. We identify with one acceptable role and quietly disown the rest. The unlived parts move into the unconscious — into shadow — and the body eventually carries what the psyche cannot hold alone.

Authenticity is not self-indulgence.

It is a return to inner coherence.

And when coherence is restored, the nervous system settles. Something vital begins to move again. Aliveness returns.

This is the ground from which Power, Presence & Flow emerged — a 9-week container beginning March 1 for women who feel the quiet pull toward integration.

Not self-improvement.

Integration.

If something in this feels less like urgency and more like recognition, the full piece is linked in my bio.

We talk a lot about independence in this culture.

About doing things on our own.

About not needing anyone.

But what if that’s part of what’s hurting us?

This week’s blog explores how losing community also costs us something deeper — purpose, meaning, and a sense of being needed. For many veterans, this loss is immediate and unmistakable. For civilians, it’s often quieter… but no less real.

We aren’t meant to do life alone.

And isolation isn’t the same thing as safety.

New post is up.

“Deep breathing is our nervous system’s love language.”

When we slow the breath, we send a clear signal of safety to the body.
Not later. Not once things calm down.
This is something that is accessible right now.

If you want simple, accessible breathing practices you can return to anytime,
you’ll find several on my YouTube channel.

Simple Mindfulness is a 30min guided embodied practice designed to help you slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with the body through awareness, rest, and gratitude.

In this practice, Dr. Adrian Campbell offers a supportive, invitational experience rooted in embodied mindfulness, and based on Veterans Yoga Project's 5 tools of mindful resilience. No prior experience is required.

You’re encouraged to practice in a space where you’re able to mindfully turn inward. All practices can be done seated or lying down, and everything offered is an invitation. This is your practice — you’re always encouraged to listen to your body, skip anything that doesn’t feel right, and honor what you need in each moment.
The practice is approximately 30 minutes and includes: - mindful movement combined with a body scan meditation - guided rest in the form of yoga nidra - a closing gratitude practice with breath awareness is woven throughout the experience.

This practice is especially supportive during times of stress, emotional overwhelm, fatigue, or when you feel disconnected from yourself. You can return to it as often as needed — as a pause, a reset, or a moment of embodied listening.

When Caring Hurts: Compassion Fatigue in a Time of Collective Crisis

The Energetic Psyche – Season 3, Episode 4

In this episode of The Energetic Psyche, Dr. Adrian Campbell explores compassion fatigue and secondary trauma in the context of ongoing collective crisis.

As violence, injustice, and suffering dominate the news and social media, many people are experiencing exhaustion, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, and physical stress — often without realizing they’re dealing with compassion fatigue.

This episode unpacks how prolonged caring, witnessing, and emotional engagement can overwhelm the body and psyche, even for those outside high-stress professions.

Dr. Campbell discusses the early warning signs of compassion fatigue, the impact of repeated media exposure, and why sustainability — not overexertion — is essential if we want to keep showing up and creating change.

The episode also introduces practical, embodied tools for resilience, including mindful movement, breathwork, meditation, guided rest, and gratitude as a 30min guided mindfulness practice.

This episode is for anyone feeling worn down by constant awareness, struggling to rest, or trying to balance care, action, and self-preservation in challenging times.

Hope to practice with you this month

This is a marathon, not a sprint — and care is how we stay in it.

So many of us are trying to stay informed, stay engaged, stay compassionate — and quietly running ourselves into the ground in the process.

Caring deeply isn’t the problem.
Caring without limits is.

If we want to keep showing up — for our communities, our values, and each other — care for ourselves has to be part of the work. Not as a reward. Not as an afterthought. But as a necessity.

In this week's blog and on The Energetic Psyche, I talk about compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and how to stay present in hard times without burning out. There's a 30 min practice in the podcast episode, to hopefully provide a moment of peace.

You matter in this.
Take care of yourself. 🌿
