🔋Burnout: You can be successful, responsible & high-functioning... And still be completely burnt out.

Burnout isn't always obvious. It often develops quietly through chronic stress, emotional demands, high responsibility & long periods of operating without enough recovery.

Over time, nervous system overload can affect your focus, energy, relationships, sleep & overall well-being.

At Sunnyside Healing Arts, we offer holistic psychotherapy for burnout, chronic stress, anxiety, emotional exhaustion & nervous system dysregulation.

Healing is not about becoming more productive. It's about creating a life that no longer requires you to sacrifice yourself to sustain your success. You can learn to sustain yourself AND experience success.

Burnout develops when chronic stress, emotional demands & responsibilities exceed our capacity to recover. It affects us mentally, emotionally & physically.

Whoa, January, why don’t you tell us how you really feel?!
The cold, long month we’ve endured serves as a reminder that slow growth makes sense, can be seasonally appropriate and a fresh start can be something to be considered now and accomplished later 😊

It’s Stress Awareness Month 🧘‍♂️
Did you know that there are two different types of stress/stressors: Eustress & Distress

Stress is, unfortunately, a part of life and learning to manage our stress levels is a life skill

We won’t be able to eliminate stress, but we can change how we respond to it more adaptively.

This is empowering and connects us with our capacity and ability

It’s World Teen Mental Awareness Day ✨

Teens experience mental, emotional and stress state challenges just like everyone else. When we talk to clients about their teenage years and the experience of high school, most adults would not choose to relive it (unless there was a pretty substantial prize for doing so) 👀

There are many factors that contribute to difficulty in the teen years, including peer pressure, the desire to fit in, the experience of individuating from family of origin, getting to know our true selves, social media influences, bullying and more.

The amygdala is fully formed, which means that teens can fully experience the depth and extent of our primal emotional states. The prefrontal cortex, however, is not fully formed, making it difficult to reason or rationalize with intense emotions 🧠

Learning how to healthily experience, process and soothe uncomfortable mental, emotional and stress states is possible. Sharing our discomfort with others can help to de-escalate some of the intensity. Like they say, a problem shared is a problem halved.

Our therapists are here to support you through the challenges that teens face.
