Summary

You're not lazy. You're not spiritually failing. You're burned out — and burnout has a neurological address

.

In this episode, Elisha — counselor, author, and founder of Restoring You Christian Counseling — breaks down what's actually happening in your nervous system during burnout, why it feels different from anxiety, and what real burnout recovery looks like when it holds both science and Scripture.

We walk through the R.E.S.T. Framework applied specifically to burnout: Regulate, Experience, Surrender, and Trust — and close with a guided somatic practice and extended prayer for nervous system restoration.

What you'll learn:

• The neuroscience of burnout (HPA axis, dorsal vagal shutdown, Polyvagal Theory)
• Why burnout recovery requires different tools than anxiety recovery
• The "I Am Still Here" somatic anchor practice
• How surrender is different from suppression
• Your 7-Day Nervous System Recovery Challenge
