Rest

Not merely the absence of work — body and mind need several different kinds of break.

How it shows up

Many people »rest« beside a screen and stay just as depleted. Physical rest doesn’t substitute for emotional rest, nor emotional for sensory. That is why an unplanned weekend often doesn’t do it.

What we do with it in therapy

We look at which kind of rest you are actually short of. With burnout that is usually a more useful question than how many hours you sleep.

Does some of this sound familiar?

An explanation is one thing, the experience another. If you'd like to talk it through with someone, write to me.

This is what insomnia taught me. What has it taught you? Traumatic experiences can leave you weakened — on recovery and strength. On the worries that drain our energy. On why differentiation matters in relationships. Self-confidence starts with self-awareness. On how hard it is to start — and harder still to keep going.
