12. Healing Fatigue: Doing “the work” is exhausting

This week Sara Cate and Ashley discuss the exhaustion that can come along with committing to doing your own trauma healing, whatever that means to you. Healing fatigue is a real side effect of doing “the work” as we say. They discuss hitting the pause button, taking a break, allowing your body and mind to rest. We don’t always have to be pushing in the process of healing and recovery, we can also find rest, we can allow the pieces to land and come together without always forcing them into the light. Sara Cate and Ashley invite you to find a place of lightness and ease as you continue to commit to your own healing and wellness.
