If rest never feels restorative, your body may be asking for something deeper than sleep. This piece unpacks how chronic stress and early adaptation shape exhaustion—and how learning to listen to your nervous system can change the way you rest, heal, and live.

My hope is that this blog will help fuel the flame of the Lantern to glow brightly in the Fog, helping you uncover what is already there before you. The therapeutic space, and other spaces of healing, exist to help us explore and reconnect with parts of ourselves we thought we had lost, but never truly leave us. One gentle step at a time those parts can be discovered anew and readjusted into a life that feels more fulfilling than the life that is within the Fog.
