Description:

What does it look like when your nervous system has been running on fumes for years and you don't even know it? In this episode of the Fountain of Vitality podcast, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Dr. Julie Merriman, a licensed professional counselor supervisor, yoga instructor, and author of In Pursuit of Joy, is here to unpack the hidden mechanics of burnout and compassion fatigue.

Julie shares how she watched fresh-out-of-college interns go from excited to dragging their bodies in like Igor within two months, and how her own crash and burn forced her to study what was happening inside the nervous system. She explains why your identity gets trapped in your job title, how resentment is actually a signal instead of a character flaw, and why your body has answers your brain keeps overriding. She also walks through the specific body scan and vagus nerve techniques that helped a terrified therapist become one of the most successful counselors she ever graduated.
