I used to hear “you’re so motivated” all the time. What people couldn’t see was how hard it was for me to stop.
I had my kids 16 months apart, took two unpaid maternity leaves in two years, and was trying to rebuild my practice. I was completely burnt out. But sitting down made me feel guilty, so I just kept going.
A lot of my own Brainspotting work has been about that guilt—and the anxiety and shame that lurks underneath it.
If you’re an overfunctioning mom who gets praised for doing it all, I see you. You don’t have to wait until you hit a breaking point to reach out❤️
