it’s like my soul has the flu right now. i’m not sick but the worlds a bit sickly. personally pretty good but this collective nervous system feels like it’s quite noticeably heavy. friends, family, clients, the news, woah. thank god for good home cooked food & good music with excellent lyrics. happy to have a moderately slow weekend comparatively to somewhat-ultrasocial, busy bee life.
winter be wintering and i’m actually - maybe for the first time listening to the concept of turning it down in the colder months- maybe 10% turn down..babysteps..my much loved psychotherapy supervisor of 3 years - psychologist & dreams expert, chris caldwell- asked yesterday if i’m ever worried about burn out or worse.. no not really. i just responded “i got a lot of purpose. my purposes have purpose. so pretty sure i’ll be fine. just need to turn it down a notch occasionally.”
i’m pretty hyper aware of my own systems and my capacity. i have an outrageous tool belt full of practices and knowledge to heal myself and facilitate healing for others. however, no one’s invincible and yeah even as a therapist - i might go to yoga most days and eat healthy - but i get tired too, no one canPsyche Soma Medicinelly. we are all so deeply connected to each other and this earth. so if some or many are down, then it affects us all.
i can’t recommend more - the value of educating yourself on your nervous system in particular is pretty key. lots of overwhelm, stress and intensity in the thick air. lots of love to people rn. only working a half week this coming week.
i’ve got 2 sessions left if you need it.
