Many women arrive here saying, “I’ve tried resting—but it doesn’t help.”
This can be deeply discouraging.
In states of chronic stress, rest is essential—but it may not feel restorative at first. A nervous system that has been on high alert doesn’t immediately recognize safety.
From a homeopathic perspective, recovery involves restoring adaptability, not just stopping activity.
This is why gentle, individualized support matters.
Not to push the body—but to help it remember how to respond, recover, and regulate again.
As we move through this course, we’ll return again and again to this idea: healing from burnout is not about forcing rest—it’s about rebuilding trust within the system.
