Burnout and anxiety can sneak up on the best of us, even those dedicated to helping others with their mental health. Gabby, a licensed clinical social worker and somatic experiencing practitioner, brings us into her world of struggle and resilience. She narrates her personal battles with chronic pelvic pain and high-stress environments in community mental health, where her perfectionist drive led to burnout. The crucial moment of feeling nothing for a client served as a wake-up call, pushing her to reconsider her path and prioritize her mental and physical well-being.
Navigating the complex maze of chronic pain and anxiety often involves a reliance on medication, and Gabby's story is no exception. Her dependence on medication for sleep and functionality became a cycle she had to break. This episode sheds light on her transition to alternative healing routes, incorporating naturopathic guidance, vitamins, and lifestyle changes such as breath work, meditation, and dietary adjustments. Gabby offers practical tips, like supplementing with magnesium for improved sleep, ensuring that listeners walk away with actionable advice for their wellness journeys.
Women, in particular, face unique challenges when it comes to burnout, whether in the workplace or at home. Gabby empowers women with strategies to manage burnout through affirmations, boundary setting, and flexible work arrangements. She discusses the importance of recognizing burnout beyond professional settings, extending to relationships and parenting. Grounding and somatic practices play a pivotal role in Gabby's approach, teaching the brain and nervous system to feel safe. From meditation techniques to practical grounding exercises, Gabby’s insights provide a roadmap for achieving mental wellness and reclaiming control over one's life.
