Burnout isn’t just tiredness—it’s a body that can’t come down from survival.
You’ve tried self-care. You’ve taken the supplements. You’ve meditated, journaled, maybe even gone to therapy.
And still, you wake up feeling heavy.
Disconnected.
Like your fuel tank never actually refills.
It’s not that you’re broken.
It’s that your nervous system is still bracing for impact—even when the stress has passed.
High Functioning Doesn’t Mean Nervous System Regulation
Burnout isn’t laziness, weakness, or lack of will. It’s a biological state of depletion caused by being in fight-or-flight for too long.
And it’s sneaky. Because from the outside, you’re still productive, loving, even successful.
But internally, your body is stuck in:
- Chronic tension
- Shallow breathing
- Emotional numbness
- Low libido
- Overwhelm at even simple tasks
You’re not just tired. You’re nervous system exhausted.
Rest Is Not Always Enough—You Need Somatic Repair
Sleep and vacations help, but they don’t always touch what’s happening deep in the body.
That’s because burnout isn’t just physical—it’s neurological.
To truly repair, the body needs to feel safe, not just still.
That’s where somatic healing becomes essential.
Somatic Therapy Supports True Recovery from Burnout
At Nuna Holistic Retreat Center in Sarasota, we work with high-performing parents, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are physically present but emotionally flatlined.
Our trauma-informed, body-based sessions support:
- Nervous system regulation through bodywork
- Release of chronic tension and emotional holding
- Reconnection to sensation and restfulness
- Restoring access to joy, presence, and relational intimacy
This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping your body remember what thriving feels like.
Story: From Pushing Through to Feeling Alive Again
Alex, a parent and executive, came to Nuna exhausted. No matter how much sleep he got or how many breaks he took, the burnout remained.
In our sessions, we worked with somatic bodywork and de-armoring, allowing Alex’s body to slowly come out of survival mode. Tears came. Then laughter. Then sensation.
He said, “It felt like my body exhaled for the first time in years.”
