Burnout isn’t just about being exhausted or overworked – it’s a complex interplay of anxiety, chronic stress, sensory overload, and a dysregulated nervous system.
It’s your body’s response to excessive and prolonged stress, manifesting as both mental + physical exhaustion.
Burnout has a widespread effect on the body, nervous system, and overall health. Chronic stress and overwhelm push the body into survival mode, leading to dysregulation in multiple systems.
Here’s what burnout can do to the body:
• Nervous system dysregulation such as anxiety, dissociation, difficulty relaxing
• Hormonal + immune system imbalance
• Cognitive issues such as brain fog, having trouble making decisions
• Chronic symptoms such as migraines, gut issues or other neck/shoulder pain
• Emotional withdrawal
• Disrupted sleep patterns
The solution: Build resilience through nervous system regulation and brain rewiring. Understand your limits and learn to regulate your nervous system to break the cycle.
