#43 Why You Still Feel Overwhelmed (Even After Doing Everything Right)

In this episode, I explore one of the most common patterns I see in my work with women in midlife - feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and disconnected despite doing all the “right” things.Many of the women I work with have already done therapy, developed insight, and understand their patterns. And yet, the way they feel hasn’t shifted in a meaningful or lasting way. In this episode, I unpack why that happens.I introduce the concept of a bottom-up approach to healing, and explain why your nervous system - not your thoughts - is often determining how you experience your life. While thoughts do play a role, the body is sending far more information to the brain than the brain can send back down, which is why trying to think your way out of overwhelm often falls short.I also explore why this becomes more pronounced in perimenopause and midlife, and what it actually means to begin working with your body rather than against it.If you’ve been feeling stuck, despite your self-awareness and effort, this episode will help you understand what may be missing.Connect with me:Website: https://www.myholistictherapist.comNewsletter: https://www.myholistictherapist.com/newsletterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/myholistictherapist
