Can reprocessing lead to burnout

Amyleen17 November 17th, 2023

Hi all,

I am doing emdr therapy for childhood trauma. I felt burnout lately, and just need a break from everything. Can burnout be a result from reprocessing memories?

Thank you

@Amyleen17 yes it can unfortunately, bringing up or being reminded of trauma is very difficult. It's important to be kind to yourself during this time. Gives you a giant festive tiny hug ❤❤ we are all here for you ❤

Burnout can occur if the volume or rhythm isn’t matching well with your emotional readiness level. Have you tried discussing with your therapist the effects after sessions, and how sessions can be adjusted to avoid burnout?

@Amyleen17Definitely I can be. I have been there.
