In the news: SimpliBeing's on CNA Today

Why do so many of us feel pressure to train harder, book more classes, and chase the "next" fitness trend, even when our bodies are asking for rest?

In a recent CNA Today feature on fitness burnout, SimpliBeing’s founder Jackie Wong broke down a pattern we see often in the therapy room - one that starts long before anyone steps into a gym:

"When you browse exercise-related content, you will start to receive even more. It could be from the sponsor of a sportswear brand, or from influencers."

Jackie explained that this repetition isn't accidental; it's the algorithm at work. And over time, it can narrow our idea of what "healthy" or "fit" is supposed to look like, shaped more by brands and influencers than by what our own bodies actually need. The result? People start mirroring what they see online, without first asking whether it's right for them.

It's a quiet kind of pressure, one that can turn something meant to support our wellbeing into another source of stress, self-doubt, or burnout.

At SimpliBeing, this is the work we do every day: helping people pause, notice where the pressure is really coming from, and reconnect with what genuinely serves their mind and body; not just what's trending on their feed.

If this resonates and you'd like to talk it through, we're here.

From packed workout schedules to expensive classes to social media pressure, some working adults are pushing themselves to the limit in the pursuit of health, which in turn causes more stress on their bodies and in their daily lives than necessary.

Hearts in every color, layered on top of each other, overlapping and intertwined — no two exactly alike, yet together they create something undeniably beautiful.

That’s what Pride Month is. A reminder that love isn’t a limited resource. The more we extend it across differences, across identities, across the full spectrum of human experience, the more vibrant the world becomes.

You belong here. You are part of the picture.
Happy Pride. 🧡💛💚💙💜

Professor Manos Tsakiris at the 37th Annual Boston International Trauma Conference shared about
Keynote: Being, with a Deep Body in Mind

“While embodied accounts in modern psychology have long focused on the importance of the body as the basis of the self, this focus concerned the exteroceptive body, that is, the body as perceived from the outside (e.g. think about our body image or when we recognize ourselves in the mirror).

This influential approach has neglected another important dimension of the body, namely the interoceptive, felt, body, that is, the body as perceived from within. Interoception describes the processing and awareness of body-to-brain axis of signals that are essential for ensuring the organism’s homeostatic needs. Beyond homeostasis, a renewed interest in interoception across psychological sciences and neurosciences has highlighted its importance for self-awareness and social cognition. The awareness of these interoceptive signals that originate deep within our bodies influence a range of cognitive and affective processes, from emotional awareness and regulation to decision-making, that are important for the awareness of ourselves, our relations to others and possibly for our political emotions and political behavior.”

Kekuni Minton, PhD at 37th Annual Boston International Trauma conference.
“Kekuni Minton, PhD
This keynote explores how unresolved subcortical orienting and defensive responses—those instinctive survival strategies triggered in the face of threat—can be completed through Sensorimotor Psychotherapy’s (SP) intervention of Sensorimotor Sequencing.

When we are exposed to trauma, the body registers an immediate shock response to the threat. If this impact is not processed bottom-up to resolution, it can wreak havoc with the brain and body, leading to involuntary sensations, movements, and other baffling and often frightening physical symptoms that appear to have no organic cause, as well as fueling negative beliefs and intense dysregulated emotions.

One of SP’s core techniques for the treatment of trauma, sensorimotor sequencing, teaches clients to trust the innate wisdom of their bodies to process and resolve these effects of shock. They learn to allow and follow the involuntary sensations, vibrations, impulses, and movements to completion, rather than resisting or suppressing them”

“This session explores Dr. Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach to deep healing of exiled parts, the wounded aspects of the personality that carry the burdens of trauma and emotional pain. Participants will learn how to respectfully engage protective parts of the psyche to gain permission to work with exiles, apply techniques to access and transform trauma-held exiles, and consolidate this healing into lasting integration within the internal system. The course highlights the essential steps of befriending protectors, witnessing and unburdening exiles, and fostering systemic harmony for enduring emotional health.”
