If the experience is a single event, and we have adequate support afterward, and we have had little or no prior trauma, then we will be left shaken, but the events will feel “behind” us now. If traumatic events have been recurrent, and/or we are developmentally vulnerable, and/or we have inadequate support, we can be left with a host of ‘implicit’ memories, intense responses and symptoms that “tell the story” but without words and without the knowledge that we are remembering.

Feeling overwhelmed and feeling completely drained aren’t the same thing, but we often treat them like they are.
Stress usually comes from too much. It can feel like pressure, urgency, and having more on your plate than you can handle. Burnout is different. It’s what happens when that stress goes on for too long. It can feel like exhaustion, numbness, and having nothing left to give.
Understanding the difference matters, because they don’t need the same kind of care.
This month’s Love Notes focuses on stress and burnout, and how to recognize what you might be experiencing.
