Have you ever left a therapy session feeling completely wiped out, as if you've run a marathon you didn't train for? It's a common experience, but it isn't the goal of effective therapy. That feeling of depletion is a critical signal from your body that you've been pushed beyond your nervous system's capacity.In this episode, we explore a body-centric, Polyvagal-informed approach to therapy that builds resilience instead of burning you out. You'll learn how to work with your therapist to anchor in your safety state, mindfully "tiptoe" to the edge of discomfort, and safely return—a process that empowers you and grows your capacity over time. This is about building internal resources, not just surviving the session.If you're ready to change your expectation of therapy from draining to empowering, this episode is for you.Resources:🔸 Wondering what to do next? https://bit.ly/4ozbppZ🔸 Stuck Not Broken book series - https://www.justinlmft.com/books🔸 Polyvagal 101 audio series - https://player.captivate.fm/collection/cce134e7-1550-4d33-8e56-738d344c63b0Crisis resources:<ul><li>National Suicide Prevention Hotline - 1 (800) 273-8255</li><li>National Domestic Violence Hotline -1 (800) 799-7233</li><li>LGBT Trevor Project Lifeline - 1 (866) 488-7386</li><li>National Sexual Assault Hotline - 1 (800) 656-4673</li><li>Crisis Text Line - Text “HOME” to 741741</li><li>Call 911 for emergency</li></ul> This and other content produced by Justin Sunseri (“JustinLMFT”) (i.e; podcast, YouTube, Instagram, etc.) is not therapy, not intended to be therapy or be a replacement for therapy.&nbsp; Nothing in this creates or indicates a therapeutic relationship.&nbsp; Please consult with your therapist or seek for one in your area if you are experiencing mental health symptoms.&nbsp; Nothing should be construed to be specific life advice; it is for educational and entertainment purposes only.Justin Sunseri is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist registered in the State of California (#99147).Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast!
