It definitely stems from trauma and is in and of itself an unhealed trauma symptom. It is the flight response of the nervous system, and it's arguably the most societally praised of the four trauma nervous responses, so that external validation adds to it as well as the programming you mentioned. I have found a lot of relief from magic 🍄 trips
I would add that a lot of us bounce back and forth from the flight and freeze response but always try to stay in flight because freeze response is the opposite of societally praised.
@@alisiademi These are really great points Alisia! I really appreciate you sharing and adding to the conversation on this. Trauma response may not be the first thing one would think of, but I can definitely see this being a root cause.
I am so exhausted all the time and feel so defeated by how little I get done. Your suggestion to reduce the number of things and then reduce it more sounds like a good idea but then it gets me thinking that maybe I will get too little done and never achieve my goals.
Senta, I'm sure the lack of energy for what you want to accomplish can be so discouraging. Hopefully you are able to get the support you need to be able to optimize your health and energy. I've been thinking a bit about your concern about getting too little done and not achieving your goals. I think with feeling exhausted, it becomes even more important to get very clear on what is truly most important to you so that you don't deplete yourself by trying to accomplish too much. At the end of the day there are only so many hours in the day and one can only be so efficient. Not to mention, you need to rest to restore to find the creativity and energy to be able to achieve those goals. Perhaps you shouldn't look at it like having to give up on any of your dreams, rather that you are prioritizing so that you can focus your time and energy in the most effective way. Not to mention, I've been amazed at the extra creativity one can find to do things in a much shorter time frame, when you are well rested and well nurtured. ❤
