A Pathway to Healing and Resilience
Somatic Therapy for Burnout
Burnout can leave you feeling drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected—from your work, your relationships, and even yourself. It’s more than just exhaustion—it’s a deep sense of depletion that impacts your body, mind, and emotions. Whether you’re experiencing physical fatigue, mental fog, or emotional numbness, burnout can feel like there’s no way out. But there is hope.
As a somatic therapist, I specialize in helping individuals recover from burnout by reconnecting with their bodies, restoring balance, and creating sustainable ways to thrive.
Somatic therapy takes a holistic approach, addressing the mind-body connection to help you rebuild your resilience, energy, and sense of purpose.
What is Burnout?
Burnout often develops from prolonged stress, whether from work, caregiving, or other life responsibilities. It can affect every aspect of your life, showing up as:
Physical symptoms: Chronic fatigue, muscle tension, headaches, or difficulty sleeping.
Mental symptoms: Difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, or feeling stuck in a fog.
Emotional symptoms: Apathy, irritability, frustration, or a sense of hopelessness.
Disconnection: Feeling detached from your work, loved ones, or even yourself.
If these symptoms sound familiar, somatic therapy can help you address the root causes of burnout and create space for recovery and renewal.
What to Expect in Sessions
In our work together, I’ll provide a safe, supportive space to explore the effects of burnout and create a plan for recovery. Here’s what our sessions might include:
01. Body Awareness
We’ll start by noticing how burnout is affecting your body—whether through tension, fatigue, or other sensations—and approach these feelings with curiosity and compassion.
02. Nervous System Regulation
I’ll guide you through somatic practices like grounding, breathwork, and gentle movement to calm your nervous system and restore balance.
03. Releasing Stress Patterns
Together, we’ll work on releasing the physical and emotional patterns that have built up from prolonged stress.
04. Building Resilience:
You’ll develop practical tools to protect your energy, set boundaries, and prevent burnout in the future.
Every session is tailored to your unique experiences and needs, helping you recover at a pace that feels right for you.
Why Somatic Therapy for Burnout?
Unlike traditional approaches that focus solely on mental or emotional strategies, somatic therapy addresses the full picture of burnout—mind, body, and nervous system. By working with the body’s natural ability to heal and self-regulate, somatic therapy offers a sustainable path to recovery and resilience.
Is Somatic Therapy Right for You?
You feel chronically exhausted, overwhelmed, or unable to cope with daily stress.
You’re experiencing physical symptoms like fatigue, tension, or sleep problems.
You feel emotionally detached, unmotivated, or apathetic about things that once mattered to you.
You want to explore a holistic approach that addresses both your body and mind.
How Somatic Therapy Helps with Burnout
Burnout isn’t just about stress—it’s how your nervous system responds to prolonged stress without adequate recovery. When you’re stuck in cycles of overwork and overwhelm, your body holds onto that tension, keeping you in a state of imbalance.
Somatic therapy works to gently release that tension, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect you with a sense of vitality. Here’s how somatic therapy can help:
Calm Your Nervous System: We’ll work on techniques to bring your nervous system out of “fight or flight” mode and into a state of calm and rest.
Rebuild Energy Reserves: You’ll learn how to restore your energy by practicing self-regulation and listening to your body’s needs.
Release Tension: Chronic stress often creates physical tension or discomfort. We’ll use somatic techniques to safely release that tension and create space for ease.
Reconnect with Yourself: Burnout can make you feel disconnected from who you are. Together, we’ll explore how to reconnect with your values, priorities, and sense of purpose.
