Episode notes
Somatics for Burnout
- You can't think your way to a regulated nervous system, affirmations and mindset hacks won't work.
- Use somatic practices, body-based tools, to heal burnout by addressing how stress lives in the body.
Body-Brain Communication
- 80% of nervous system communication originates in the body, sending messages to the brain (bottom-up processing).
- Only 20% flows from the brain down, explaining why calming self-talk often fails during stress.
Somatic Practices
- Somatic practices, like slowing your breath or grounding, speak your nervous system's language.
- These actions show your body it's safe to relax, unlike simply telling yourself to calm down.
