Pivot ~ It’s Time to Make the Move

There is so much pressure in our culture to keep producing, to keep “performing,” and adapting without ever needing a break.

Therapists know this pressure well. You’ve been asked to pivot again and again in recent years — moving online, shifting caseloads, holding trauma at levels we weren’t trained for, carrying the cultural upheaval of a country that feels split in two. Adaptation fatigue is real.

But here’s something we don’t talk about enough: it’s not just the workload. It’s what we keep holding after the work is done.

Maybe it's time to make a full shift in how you practice. Not just adapt to AI and apps, but into full holistic therapy. Or a full shift in how you leave you work at the end of the day.

The Hidden Weight Therapists Carry

If you’re a clinician, you know the feeling. The day ends, but your nervous system hasn’t gotten the message. A client’s story lingers. Their grief, their overwhelm, their hopelessness — it’s still humming in your body hours later.

This is the gap we need to bridge now. Not just between cognitive and somatic therapy. Adding holistic methods such as our Clinical Yoga Institute training can be as helpful for you as it can be for your client to help bridge this gap. Yet it's not just the mind / body gap that needs to be addressed every day. It's about what happens in session and what we carry home afterward.

Because if we don’t release what isn’t ours, we end up burned out, shut down, or resentful. And none of us went into this work to live that way.

Letting Clients Go at the End of the Day

Letting go doesn’t mean not caring. It means caring fully in the session — and then creating a clear boundary so you can return to your own life. Your body. Your family. Your joy.

For most therapists, this doesn’t happen automatically. We need practices that help our nervous systems reset.

A Gift for You

That’s why I created the Evening Energy Reset audio. It’s a short guided practice designed to help you pause at the end of the day, release what isn’t yours to carry, and call your energy back to yourself.

Think of it as a gentle “off-ramp” for your nervous system. A way to close the loop, so you can rest and restore before tomorrow asks for more.
