Emotional Battery
A metaphor that resonates with many clients is the idea of emotional capacity functioning like a battery.
Every responsibility, stressor, and emotional demand draws from that battery. When it becomes depleted, tasks that once felt manageable suddenly feel overwhelming.
Reframing exhaustion as capacity depletion rather than laziness can shift clients from self-criticism toward self-compassion.
Curious how other clinicians explain emotional capacity to clients.
