I have been wondering more about burnout and the impact on our body. Maybe burnout is not only about doing too much, but maybe it is also about not allowing our body enough true recovery experiences? It does require time and space in our very full lives.
I can "finish" my workday, but sometimes my body never really leaves work, even after I have closed my laptop, and all of the emails have been replied to.
Often, I am aware that my "system" is still running, scanning, preparing, holding. Clients and I are often exploring the question: Do we actually allow ourselves to recover after significant stress, or do we simply keep functioning? I believe that most of us simply keep functioning.
