When the empathic daughter burns out After living with anxiety all her life, she hits a breaking point - and the worst part is: it feels like it's her fault. She suddenly can't push through anymore, when this had always been her superpower. She teels drained, lethargic and hopeless - for days on end. She went to the doctor and talked to friends, and they all told her to rest. The truth is, her body went into shutdown for a reason. After years of meeting other people's needs, she burned out. And resting won't do the trick. It's about learning how to be safe again. It's about mending old wounds that keep her body in constant stress. It's about truly connecting with herself, maybe for the first time ever.
