The Hidden Cost of Burnout: Chronic Stress Triggers Survival Mode
Burnout is more than just feeling tired. It’s that persistent state of chronic stress that can severely affect your physical and emotional well-being.
When you experience burnout, your nervous system becomes overwhelmed, and your body stays stuck in survival mode—constantly on alert, pumping out stress hormones. This overload on your nervous system sends youur body into a state of exhaustion, anxiety, irritability, and even physical pain.
Learning to recognise burnout and how it impacts your nervous system is the first step toward healing.
The Japanese healing practice of Reiki is a mind-body aproach towards burnout recovery. Reiki practice encourages your nervous system to shift from fight-and-flight survival model to rest-and-recovery where body’s self-healing mechanisms run at their optimal levels, helping you move towards natural balance, restoring harmony.
