Episode TranscriptAlright, y’all. Welcome back to another episode of the Sophie Kessner podcast. I am very excited to have you on here. We’re trying a little bit of a new setup to see how this looks in the video format for repurposing content, which we’ll talk about in future episodes per use. But in today’s episode, what I really want to dive into and explore is a conversation around the epidemic we’re seeing for folks who have been going really, really hard in their business for a really long time and are experiencing either a bit of fatigue, burnout, emotional overwhelm, a sense of stagnancy where they’re not able to continue to move forward in the same way that they used to. Now I can speak about this both firsthand, having gone through my own experience with the burnout, and with a little bit of what I would call kind of like a midlife crisis in some ways, but also I see it a lot with many of the clients that I work with.
Now for a bit of context and background for the last three years or so, i have been training in trauma work, and the trauma work I’ve been training in is called somatic experiencing. Now, some of you might be familiar with that, some of you might not have any idea what that is, but essentially it is a type of modality that focuses on presenting enough space and opportunity and safety for the system And when I say system we’re talking about nervous system For the nervous system to be able to slowly, in a tight-traded way, meaning little by little, discharge the stuck and our stagnant energy that didn’t have the proper amount of time or space previously, and our safety previously, to fully discharge. So in the context of trauma and in the way that I like to look at it, i see it as two core categories that I currently study. I’m sure there are more, but these are the two that I study. There is what we would call shock trauma, and shock trauma is wonderful for SE work. Shock trauma is all around there being a specific event or experience that somebody goes through, and that specific experience is what creates a shock to the system. Now you can think of this as like a sudden loss, a car accident, somebody breaking up with you out of nowhere that you weren’t expecting, a surprise pregnancy things that often happened.Too much, too fast, too soon is the language double traditionally used inside of SE work. Now, with the too much too fast, too soon, this is a different category of trauma from something that is more chronic. Now, when we’re talking about chronic trauma and our trauma due to some sort of neglect, lack thereof, it can come in two different ways, right? One it can come from too much for too long or it can come from too little, too late. So there’s two ways that that can kind of show up, depending on the background and the history of the individual.
But I bring this up because oftentimes the way that the body experiences the trauma of business is less of the shock and it’s more of the chronic component, It’s more of the ongoing, consistently impeding stress that our systems are having to figure out how to cope with. How to deal with And the way that we learn to navigate, to cope, to deal with the stress is what we would then call or label coping strategies. Right, and depending on how much we identify with these strategies personalities, archetypes, defense systems, etc. And so then we develop this chronic sense of who we are, in the state of being, and a great example of this is really common in the entrepreneurial and just in general in the athletic world is we start to identify with this type of survival strategy, the coping strategy that we’ve developed as a way to navigate the intense stress that exists in our lives. So an example of this would be something like a business owner...
