Trauma-informed therapy for burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, and emotional exhaustion
You may be capable, thoughtful, and outwardly successful—yet still feel anxious, exhausted, or emotionally stuck. For many adults, childhood trauma doesn’t fade with time or insight. It shows up later as burnout, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, or a nervous system that never fully rests.
If small things trigger big reactions, or you find yourself slipping into overdrive, shutdown, or self-criticism, you’re not broken. These are survival responses—patterns your nervous system learned early and has been repeating ever since.
They can change.
When burnout and anxiety have deeper roots
Burnout is often treated as a stress problem. But for many people, it’s rooted in early life experiences—chronic stress, emotional misattunement, neglect, or having to grow up too soon.
When triggered, the body may react automatically: anxiety, anger, numbness, or collapse—even when there’s no real threat. These responses can feel subtle or intense and often persist for decades.
This isn’t a personal failing. It’s the nervous system doing what it once needed to do.
