Beyond Burnout: Somatic, Polyvagal, and Integrative Tools for Chronic Stress and Nervous System Recovery

---

• Understand the neuroscience behind chronic stress, burnout, and allostatic load
• Differentiate burnout, compassion fatigue, and traumatic stress in clinical presentations
• Read the nervous system in real time by spotting sympathetic activation, shutdown, and functional freeze before they derail a session
• Build a ready-to-use somatic toolkit with skills like grounding, pendulation, titration, and co-regulation for building client capacity

 

Your clients aren’t lazy, unmotivated, or “just depressed,” even though that’s often the label that gets reached for first.

You’re seeing apathy. Anhedonia. Overwhelm. Clients running on empty, with mood swings that don’t quite fit a depression picture. Your gut tells you something else is going on. And it is: chronic stress, and a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

But how do you help someone move beyond burnout when their daily stressors show no signs of letting up?

Whether you’re a therapist, counselor, or social worker working with clients caught in the relentless pace of modern life, this training gives you somatic, nervous-system-based tools to meet this presentation head-on – tools your clients can use daily to regulate, ground, and start reconnecting with their lives beyond the daily grind.

In this training, you’ll watch globally recognized trauma expert Stacy Ruse, LPC, E-RYT-500, to build a working understanding of the neuroscience of chronic stress – and walk away with tools you can use in session right away. You’ll learn…

• How to tell depression, burnout, and chronic stress apart – and why it matters for treatment
• What’s happening in the nervous system when clients feel numb, exhausted, or stuck in overdrive
• Somatic tools like grounding, pendulation, titration, and co-regulation for real-time regulation
• How to reframe “stuck” patterns like over-functioning and collapse as adaptations, not pathology

This training gives you what your clients need most when the demands of life never let up: the tools to help them come back into their bodies, and back into their lives.
