Are Your Tiny Traumas Building Up to Burnout?
For people in caring professions, trauma can be something we experience on a regular basis. an event doesn’t have to be earth-shattering to be traumatic, and if we let those “little T” traumas build up over time without addressing them, we can find ourselves in a constant sate of fight, flight, or freeze.
When stress and trauma accumulate over time, we can minimise what triggers us and downplay our experience.
But there are ways we can disrupt the burnout pattern, and tap into our nervous system to help us in those moments when we’re triggered.
Looking after you too:
