Ep 16: Unwinding from Overdoing and Rest

Cath Counihan

Sep 26, 2022

In this episode Cath discusses how overdoing, overworking and being constantly busy are ways in which many of us have learnt to manage life. We operate with our nervous systems in the ON position all the time, never giving ourselves space and time to recuperate.

For many of us this way of being has been how we have kept ourselves safe, so starting to give it up is complex and takes time.

Cath speaks about why it can feel so hard to unwind this pattern and some of the nervous system details behind this. She shares honestly some of her own challenges with this and how this has showed up over the past 2 years.

Towards the end, Cath refers to the work of Tricia Hersey (The Nap Ministry) and Tamu Thomas (Live Three Sixty).

Discussion about this podcast

Grow Yourself Up

Grow Yourself Up is a podcast to support all of us in our adult lives.

Many of us did not get our needs adequately met in childhood. The devastating legacy of trauma, wounding and traumatic stress lives on in our brains, our bodies, our nervous systems and our behaviour/reactions. Which in turn impacts the way we turn up to our lives in many ways.

We are going to unpack all of this on Grow Yourself Up. This podcast will be a companion as you travel on your own road of healing and recovery. You will learn you are not alone.

Someone has been where you are.

There is hope.

We will break down shame together and learn to cultivate self compassion.

There is always the possibility for change.

And regardless of what has happened in our past, as adults we have to take responsibility for our own lives. We have to tend to our pain, our sadness and our dysfunction so that we can live a life we love and shift toxic patterns for our children.
