Time-off Helps — but it’s not the whole solution
Most and stressed out people are told burnout = take time off or see fewer clients.
And to be clear: rest matters. Breaks matter. 💯
But when burnout keeps returning, it usually means the nervous system patterns underneath haven’t changed.
That’s why people come back from time off feeling better…
only to hit the same wall weeks later.
The cycle looks like:
Over-function → push → crash → recover → repeat.
After 25 years in mental health and teaching these skills to thousands of clients, here’s what actually changes the pattern: Learning how to regulate your nervous system while you’re working, not just when you stop.
That’s why I teach HIKE4evolution — not as a replacement for rest, but as a way to:
• interrupt stress patterns in real time
• stabilize energy and focus
• build capacity instead of just recovery
The question isn’t:
“Should I take time off?”
It’s:
“Do I know how to stay regulated when I’m back?”
