• 323 - Talk Therapy Not Working? 3 Reasons You’re Still Stuck in Anxiety & Burnout

  Does it feel like you’ve spent hours in talk therapy, dissecting your thoughts and revisiting the past, but still feel stuck in anxiety or burnout? You’re not alone. No shade on talk therapy—it can be life-changing for many.But if you’ve been hashing out your past for awhile now and still can’t shake that anxious, burned-out feeling, there’s a good chance you’re overlooking the root of the problem because trauma, stress, and dysregulation aren’t just stored in your mind—they live in your nervous system.In this episode, we’re unpacking 3 main reasons why traditional talk therapy might not be working for you and exploring how a body-based approach can help you finally move forward.Think of this as your permission slip to explore body-based healing that actually helps you feel better, not just understand why you’re struggling.Three things you’ll learn in this episode:Why your trauma isn’t all in your head—it’s literally stored in your nervous system, and words alone won’t solve that.How talking about painful events can be re-triggering if you’re not simultaneously creating a felt sense of safety.What “understanding” can’t fix—logic doesn’t calm a nervous system, so you can’t outthink anxiety or burnout.If talk therapy is working for you, amazing—keep going. But if it’s not, it’s time to step off that hamster wheel of frustration. You’re not broken; you just need a different approach that speaks the body’s language. Tune in to learn practical, nervous system–focused tools that go beyond just talking about the problem, so you can finally start feeling real change in your day-to-day life.P.S.
