Thank you for this newsletter. I found Burnout wildly helpful, like you I found them via Brene Brown’s podcast. During the pandemic lockdowns I found listening to sad songs to trigger a burst of tears really helpful. I swear I cried daily for months, but only for a few minutes while paying attention to what I was feeling in my body rather than on dissecting emotions or thoughts. Then I would be fine again.
Thank you for sharing this, Michelle. Having a reliable on-switch for tears sounds so helpful, to help flush out the difficult emotions and reset your body.

My psychologist suggested it when I was bereaved and a bit numb. Movies work too, but take longer. I have a spotify playlist called ‘weep’.
