Plenty with Kate Northrup

62. Is Your Productivity a Trauma Response? Are You Self-Medicating With Work?


Listen Later

Are you driven to do more, yet constantly feel overwhelmed? Discover if your productivity is truly serving you, or if it’s a deeper response rooted in trauma.

In this enlightening episode of the Plenty podcast, I uncover the often-overlooked link between productivity and trauma. Drawing inspiration from Erica Chidi Cohen and Dr. Valerie Rein’s Patriarchy Stress Disorder, I invite listeners to explore how societal and generational conditioning can lead us to tie our self-worth to how much we accomplish. I gently peel back the layers of personal, collective, and ancestral experiences that shape our nervous systems and drive the need to stay constantly busy. Last but not least– I share compassionate, practical strategies for healing and re-patterning, focusing on the practice of titration—taking small, intentional steps toward slowing down. Join this conversation to discover why embracing the power of doing less can open the door to more abundance and fulfillment in your life.

Tune in for an episode filled with insight, heart, and healing wisdom!

“What we know about epigenetics is that the experiences of our ancestors continue to live in our DNA, especially if they were emotionally intense.” – Kate Northrup
