Ep 150: Post Separation Abuse Burnout: A Nervous System Perspective


Listen Later

Feeling completely burned out from healing? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Sybil dives into a phase of healing that almost no one talks about — the exhaustion that hits after leaving an abusive relationship. If you're feeling numb, unmotivated, or like healing is suddenly impossible… this is for you.
We’ll explore:

  • Why burnout happens after you finally find safety
  • How the nervous system shifts from fight/flight to freeze
  • What healing burnout really looks like (spoiler: it’s not laziness)
  • How to give yourself permission to rest and reset
  • A gentle guided practice to reconnect with your body, without shame
  • How to reframe what “progress” really means

And if you're listening when this episode goes live — enrollment for The Rising Beyond Community is open until May 8th, 2025 at 11:59pm MST. If burnout is where you are right now, the community could be the lifeline you didn’t know you needed.
