Trauma-informed therapy for burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, and emotional exhaustion
While, from the outside, you might appear to be thriving with a good job, a lovely family, and community. But inside you may still feel overly anxious, exhausted, or emotionally off.
For many adults, childhood trauma symptoms can persist over time, and insight about the roots of your symptoms often isn’t enough to shift how you feel. Trauma symptoms can show up as burnout, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, excessive worry, and difficulty taking in the “goodness of life.”
If small things trigger big reactions, or you find yourself slipping into feeling numb, shutdown, or self-criticism, you’re not broken. These are survival responses.
Change is possible.
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 or fear, an emotional mis-attuned parent, 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 kept you going.
