After-Image of Urgency

14 min

Best for: exhaustion that doesn't stop when work does

Burnout often keeps broadcasting long after the emergency has passed, a pressure behind the sternum, a jaw still braced for the next email, a nervous system scanning for threat that isn't there. This session uses body-based observation to map where urgency has taken up residence and practise staying with it without being moved by it. The aim is not to calm down. It's to recognise that the alarm is still sounding even when there's nothing left to alarm about.

Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
