Anxiety, Overwhelm & Burnout Stress Management Therapies
So it’s that time! You realise that your mind is acting like a tyrant and is really not your friend. The mental noise is soul crushing and you don’t even recognise your life anymore. Where am I? Well you don’t need to fix yourself as you are already whole and amazing just as you are. With long-term stress what you are going through is your bodies way of just trying to protect you. So if you feel exhausted all the time, feel disconnected from life and just feel miserable and that nothing you try is working to improve how you feel then you are probably suffering from burnout. This level of anxiety, stress and burnout is what I have labelled level 3. Level 1 & 2 stress management therapies on Holistic page.
Understanding why this has happened to you will be your profound break through to get you back home to your thriving self. Now my approach to my therapies is all about the science and scientifically proven techniques, and once you grasp the concept of being a pre-programmed human machine you will get it about your long-term stress. We have lots of systems in the body pre-programmed for us to be amazing living machines. Information overload is not what you need so I will get straight to the main fault in your body right now.
Years of stress, anxiety, or trauma can trap your body in a constant state of survival mode. Your nervous system is supposed to help you when you are in danger, kicking in fight or flight mode but sometimes it gets stuck there. Please note that when you are working in this mode your limbic brain is working you and this put very basically is your wrong brain function mode. If it’s stuck there you are not going to thrive, and when you get stuck in this stress mode it doesn’t matter how much sleep you get or how healthy you eat, your body can’t relax. your body is always on high alert, using up all your energy just to get through the day. We all only have soo much energy available to us in the day and once it’s used up that’s it. So I know what you are going through and it is not just in your head. Your body is not broken it is just trying to protect you but got stuck in this mode. It doesn’t know how to stop at the moment and it needs your help. Your nervous system needs calmed and teach your body how to come out of survival mode.
With over 30 years experience with working with stress and the affects on the body I have come to put my own style of workshops together to help you rewire your brain to just feel like your usual self and be at home in your own body. I discovered that you didn’t need hours of therapy just some understanding of what is going on inside the body and some scientifically proven tools and techniques to reset your wrong brain mode. Allowing yourself to take some time out on a regular basis to actively work on retraining your brain, questioning your thoughts is the best start as your peace is non-negotiable.

It’s time to address your anxiety and long- term stress when you are in a state of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion. This can occur with burnout (recognised by the World Health Organisation) when you experience long-term stress and feel under constant pressure whatever the cause. Whilst burnout can be caused by stress it isn’t the same as stress. With burnout, you feel so detached and demotivated that it impacts on your ability to function and you feel hopeless that your situation can change.
Burnout can occur when you have repeated and prolonged demands that exceed resources. Our bodies are designed for resilience and wired for healing but can’t help you when you are constantly in the flight and fight mode. Your brain needs help to rewire from this deregulated state of your nervous system. Firstly you need to switch of your fight or flight gears in your body which are instructing your brain to work for a different purpose, and neutralise any damaging effects before switching on the correct brain to repair and heal your body. This is where you feel back home in your body ready to embrace all the things you enjoy in your life. This healing process takes time to reduce the impact of your anxiety or burnout on all areas of your life sapping your energy and motivation.
Burnout is a gradual process over time and the symptoms can be recognised physically, emotionally and behaviourally. Most people will experience a combination of the symptoms below that includes severe exhaustion, feeling cut off from others, and feeling they have no hope, energy or reason to change.
Physical symptoms include: Feeling tired or exhausted most of the time. Reoccurring insomnia and sleep. Frequent headaches. Muscle or joint pain. Gastrointestinal problems, such as feeling sick or loss of appetite. frequent illness due to lowered immunity. High Blood Pressure. Issues breathing.
Emotional Symptoms include: Feeling helpless, trapped, and/or defeated. Self-doubt, feeling a failure or worthless. Feeling detached and alone in the world. Feeling overwhelmed. Feeling demotivated, having a cynical/negative outlook. Lacking a sense of satisfaction and achievement. Loss of interest and enjoyment. Persistent feelings of dread, worry and anxiety.
Behavioural Symptoms include: Procrastinating and taking longer to complete things. Difficulty concentrating. Decreased output and productivity. Becoming isolated and withdrawing from people, responsibilities etc. Reliant on food, drugs or alcohol to cope. irritable and short-tempered, likely to have outbursts and take frustrations out on others. Increased tardiness, being late for work and/or higher absenteeism.
Burnout isn’t something which goes away on it’s own. If ignored or left untreated it could worsen and lead to chronic physical and mental health conditions such as heart disease or depression. Depending on the factors causing a person to become burnt out, the solutions and treatments will differ. I have designed a couple of options to help you with anxiety and burnout with my own holistic therapy style. These treatments are not a substitute for medication and contact your GP if you feel that your anxiety is chronic or are feeling suicidal.
Stress Management Options for Anxiety & Burnout
You must start with restoring peace to your body if you suffer from anxiety and burnout. Before your appointment I will send you a Wellness Evaluation Consultation form and information to ensure I have you booked in for the best therapy for you to begin with. I offer course discounts for these therapies as you cannot address burnout and long-term stress with one appointment therapy. It takes a lifestyle change with you in the driving seat to address this. Remember to read my Stress Management section for more options – holistic page.

1, Emotional Freedom Technique lesson – This shows you how to manage chronic stress with a cutting-edge energy medicine tool that is so easy to learn. EFT is virtually limitless and there is no area in your life where it can’t be used, and often works where other interventions have failed. (information on Mindfulness page) Follow up sessions required for EFT therapy. Remember that you need to work with a certified EFT practitioner to ensure your success with tapping and get to the route of your issues.
EFT stands for the Emotional Freedom Technique. It is a mind/body tool that clears physical and emotional blocks from your energy system with nothing more than your fingers and intention. It is one of the simplest, fastest ways to heal following almost any kind of trauma, whether it happened yesterday or 50yrs ago. EFT is so easy to learn and apply, it is non-invasive, gentle, forgiving and non-judgmental. It can be adapted to any situation and can be taught to children and adults alike. Although you will have to see me individually to help guide you through any difficult emotions that need addressed or you can’t shake. With EFT no one has to spend hours talking about their painful past or go into every excruciating detail of a traumatic event, little or big. Tapping can be done anywhere, any time by anybody – even in one’s head if necessary. There are no side effects, just side benefits and the worst a bit of tapping can do nothing.
