When "Rest" Doesn't Restore Capacity
One pattern that comes up in sessions is clients reporting that they are resting, but still feel exhausted.
In many cases, the issue isn’t lack of rest — it’s that the nervous system remains in a state of activation.
When the system is still perceiving stress or threat, the body doesn’t fully shift into a restorative state. As a result, time off doesn’t translate into recovery.
This can be an important distinction when working with clients who feel frustrated that “nothing is helping.”
