Join Valerie as she shares some pretty amazing stories about how a few people came in with pervasive stressors (generalized anxiety and hypervigilence, intimate relationship issues, and issues of boundaries and self respect at work) and how together we learned how to tackle their chronic burnout with trauma therapy. These first hand accounts can be found in other episodes of this very podcast by the way [22-25, 56, and 97-98]. The bottom line: chronic burnout can improve.
Join Valerie and Nathan as they banter about all things burnout recovery and spiritual development. In this SHADOW series, they talk about 3 of 6 questions we can ask ourselves to learn about our shadow…that part of our identity that we deny or pretend does not exist. These first three questions have to do with our relationship with ourself. The 3 questions addressed in the next episode have to do with our relationship with others.
