Summer photo diary of a therapist taking her own advice ☀️🌊🐕🐠

Slow mornings, lake views, and a dog who has this whole “being present” thing figured out better than I do.

One of the biggest misconceptions about anxiety is that people think it always looks like falling apart.

Sometimes anxiety looks like answering every text, showing up to every commitment, helping everyone, working harder, doing more, always being the dependable one, and thinking, “I’ll relax once all of this is done.”

Nobody notices you’re struggling because you’re still functioning…. Including you!

Eventually your nervous system starts paying the price in burnout, fatigue, overwhelm, and illness.

This is a reminder that just because you’re functioning doesn’t mean you’re okay.

Give yourself permission to put everything down for a few minutes. Go outside for a walk. Take a few breaths. Get grounded before coming back to the those to do lists. Your nervous system will thank you.

Survival mode doesn’t always look dramatic.

Often it looks like being productive, dependable, and constantly busy while quietly running on empty.

If you’ve been exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling like you’re just getting through the day, your nervous system may be asking for more support, not more pressure.

Lately I’ve been thinking about the cost of making everyone else comfortable.

For a long time, I thought being easy, agreeable, low-maintenance was a personality trait. Turns out it was a survival response.

It’s called fawning. (Yep, there’s a fourth one besides fight, flight, and freeze.)

It’s what happens when your nervous system decides peace is safer than honesty, so you learn to disappear a little to keep everyone else okay.

I did all the driving. Picked up the bill. Rearranged my whole life so no one would be inconvenienced by me. I called it being a good person. Really it was fear, just dressed up nicely.

Here’s what I’m learning: un-fawning doesn’t start with the big, scary conversation. It starts tiny.

Start with someone safe.
Practice a small preference.
Notice what your body does when you say it out loud.
Let the win be small.
Do it again before you raise the stakes.

Your nervous system doesn’t learn from one big moment…It learns from repetition.

I’m still doing this work too and some days it’s easier than others.

But every time I choose myself, even imperfectly, it’s proof I can do it again. 🌊💗

Healing from people pleasing and fawning isn’t one, big breakthrough.
It’s the dinner you actually picked.
The opinion you didn’t swallow.
The moment you said what you wanted and the world didn’t end.
Your nervous system is always listening.
Give it something new to learn. 🌊

Burnout doesn’t disappear just because the weather got warmer.

You can be surrounded by sunshine, vacation, plans, and beautiful days and still feel exhausted.

Because burnout isn’t about the season

It’s about what your nervous system is carrying
