Anti-Burnout for Sensitive People
A 6-Month Group Program for When Holding It Together Is Breaking You Apart
From the outside, you seem fine. You've got it all together. On the inside? You're falling apart.
You smooth over conflicts before they happen. You anticipate problems nobody else sees. You notice when someone's upset and check in before they have to ask. You remember the details that make people feel seen—birthdays, preferences, what's going on in their lives. Work that nobody notices or appreciates.
And you're exhausted.
But it doesn't end when you leave the office.
You come home and collapse. You cancel plans because you have nothing left. You snap at the people you love. You scroll mindlessly because you're too drained to do anything else. The hobbies and relationships that used to matter feel impossible to access.
Your weekends are spent recovering from your work week. You've stopped making plans because you never know if you'll have the energy to follow through. You feel guilty for not being more present with your partner, your kids, your friends—but you're running on empty.
And the cost keeps adding up:
You're missing moments that matter because you're too exhausted to show up. Your relationships are suffering because you have nothing left to give. Your body is sending signals—headaches, tension, digestive issues, insomnia—that you're pushing past your limits. You've lost touch with things that used to bring you joy.
You know this isn't sustainable.
You've tried setting boundaries, but they never seem to stick. You say yes when you mean no. You override what your gut is telling you to take care of everyone else. And by the end of the week, you're so drained you can barely function.
You think you're the only one struggling like this. That you just need to toughen up.
But you don't need to change who you are. You need tools that work with how you're actually wired.
The Real Problem Nobody's Talking About
As a sensitive professional, you're dealing with invisible challenges every single day:
The Work Nobody Sees
You're managing everyone else's feelings, smoothing things over, reading the room, anticipating what might go wrong. You're the one who:
Notices when someone's struggling and checks in
Remembers the details that make people feel seen
Keeps everything running behind the scenes
But there's no line item for it on your performance review. It's just expected—and exploited. The more you do it, the more it becomes your job, without recognition, without compensation, without anyone even acknowledging it's work at all. And it's draining you dry.
The Overwhelm Never Stops
Open offices make your skin crawl. Endless notifications have you on edge. Back-to-back meetings leave you feeling raw and exposed.
By midday, you're already overloaded
By the end of the week, you feel like one more thing might shatter you completely
You need quiet to recover, but there's never enough of it
care.
The Automatic Yes
Before you even think about it, you've already said yes. Someone asks for help and the word is out of your mouth before you can check if you actually have the capacity. You:
Take on extra responsibilities
Volunteer for projects
Cover for colleagues
And then you're drowning. With so much on your plate, it becomes impossible to do anything well. You're spread so thin that even your core work suffers. The guilt is crushing—guilt for not doing enough, guilt for saying yes when you shouldn't have, guilt for the resentment that builds when you're overwhelmed and nobody seems to notice or care.
Self-Doubt + Doing Too Much
You're constantly questioning if you're doing enough while simultaneously doing way too much. Here's why:
You've learned to override what your body is telling you:
That gut feeling that says "this isn't right"? You've trained yourself to ignore it
The exhaustion signaling you to stop? You push through it
You've lost the connection between what your body knows and what you allow yourself to act on
So you stay stuck in your head, second-guessing everything, while your body screams for rest and boundaries you never set.
The result? You're burning out, underperforming compared to what you're capable of, or seriously considering leaving a career you once loved.
But here's the truth: it doesn't have to be this way. Another way is possible—one that works with who you are, not against it.
What If There Was a Different Way?
Imagine if you could…
Stop pushing through exhaustion and overriding your body’s signals—
and start building real capacity to handle stress without constantly depleting yourself.
So you could actually enjoy your Friday evening instead of collapsing on the couch.
You could go to dinner with friends on a weeknight and not spend the whole time counting down until you can leave.
Stop setting boundaries that crumble the moment someone pushes back—
and start creating boundaries that hold because they come from your body’s wisdom, not willpower.
So when your boss asks for one more thing, you can say,
“I don’t have capacity for that right now,”
without your heart racing or feeling like a terrible person.
You could say no—and not spend the next three days drowning in guilt.
Stop doing all the emotional labor and managing everyone else’s feelings—
and start identifying what’s actually yours to carry and letting go of the rest.
So you can focus on your actual job instead of being the unofficial team therapist.
You could stop mediating every conflict and let people figure it out themselves.
You’d get hours of your life back.
Stop relying on thinking your way through everything while ignoring what your body knows—
and start reconnecting with the clarity and intuition that’s been there all along.
So when something feels off, you trust it instead of talking yourself out of it.
Your body could tell you a project is wrong for you from the start—and you’d finally listen.
Months of misery, avoided.
Stop white-knuckling your way through overstimulating environments—
and start regulating your nervous system in real time with simple, body-based practices.
So you can move through your day without feeling like you’re going to crawl out of your skin.
You could actually think clearly in meetings instead of just trying to survive them.
Stop second-guessing every decision and wondering if you’re doing enough—
and start reconnecting with what you actually need and trusting yourself.
So you can make choices without the constant loop of anxiety and self-doubt.
You’d know what you need—without running every decision through ten mental scenarios first.
Stop feeling alone in this struggle—like you’re the only one who can’t handle it—
and start connecting with others who understand exactly what you’re going through.
So you realize: you’re not broken.
You’re wired differently—and you need different strategies.
Finding people who get it would change everything.
Stop spending your weekends recovering—
and start having energy for the people and things that actually matter to you.
So you can show up for your life, not just survive it.
You could go hiking on a Sunday just because you want to.
That used to feel impossible.
This is exactly what we’ll do together in Anti-Burnout for Sensitive People.
Meet Your Guide (Who Knows This From the Inside)
Hi, I'm Rachel Wilson—a somatic therapist and coach who's lived this struggle from the inside.
I'm a sensitive professional too. I know what it's like to do all the invisible work while feeling like you're falling apart. To hold it together at work and then collapse the moment you get home. To wonder if something's fundamentally wrong with you.
Here's what I know for sure after nearly two decades of helping people find balance and well-being:
Your sensitivity isn't a flaw that needs fixing. It's a strength that needs specific support.
The problem isn't that you're too sensitive. It's that you haven't had body-based tools that work with how you're wired, not against it.
I bring a collective and anti-oppressive lens to this work, because burnout doesn't happen in a vacuum. Workplace inequities, systemic oppression, and cultural conditioning hit sensitive professionals especially hard—and even harder for those holding marginalized identities.
While I help you regulate your own system and set better boundaries, I also acknowledge the bigger forces at play and work toward both personal and collective change.
FAQs
-
If you're reading this and recognizing yourself in the description, you're sensitive enough. About 15-20% of people are highly sensitive, but it shows up differently for everyone. If you do a lot of invisible work, get overwhelmed by your environment, and struggle with boundaries, this program is for you.
-
I work through the body and nervous system, not just thinking differently. Traditional approaches focus on changing your thoughts or managing your time better. I teach you to regulate your system, build your capacity for stress, and set boundaries that stick because they're based in your body's wisdom, not willpower.
-
All calls are recorded and available for lifetime access. While I encourage live participation for the group connection and real-time support, you can fully participate by watching recordings and engaging in the community. You will have the option to submit questions if you aren’t able to attend, and I will answer them in the live calls.
-
No. This program is for anyone who knows their current approach isn't sustainable. Whether you're already burned out or you can see it coming, the tools I teach will help you build a more sustainable relationship with your work and energy.
-
Both. I acknowledge that burnout is both personal and systemic. While I focus on giving you practical tools to regulate your system and set boundaries, I also recognize the bigger structural problems and work toward both personal and collective change. I bring an anti-oppressive lens to this work.

The Body-Based Approach That Actually Works
What You’ll Learn
Notice burnout before you hit the wall
Learn to recognize your body’s early signals—jaw tension, shallow breathing, that pit in your stomach—so you can respond before you crash and stop the push-collapse cycle.Regulate your nervous system in real time
When overwhelm hits, thinking isn’t enough. You’ll learn practical somatic tools that calm your system in the moment—without forcing, bypassing, or pretending you’re fine.Build capacity without burning yourself out
Real resilience isn’t white-knuckling. It comes from a regulated nervous system that expands what you can handle without running on fumes.Set boundaries from clarity, not guilt
When your boundaries are anchored in your body, you stop over-explaining and second-guessing. Your “no” becomes clear—and it holds.Reduce invisible labor that drains your energy
Learn to distinguish what’s truly yours to carry from what you’ve taken on out of habit or conditioning—so you can put down work that was never yours.Create work patterns that honor how you’re wired
Stop trying to force productivity systems that don’t fit. Design rhythms that work with your nervous system, so life and work finally feel sustainable.
When you understand your unique nervous system and build routines that work WITH it, you stop feeling like you're failing at being human. This is how you build a life that actually fits.
When Holding On Means Falling Apart
You know what happens if nothing changes:
The exhaustion gets worse—and it starts showing up in your body through headaches, digestive issues, constant illness
Your resentment builds until you can barely hide it anymore
You keep falling apart behind the smile, holding it together at work while everything else crumbles
The invisible work continues to drain you while nobody even notices
You lose touch with what you actually need until you don't even know who you are anymore
Your relationships suffer because you have nothing left to give when you get home
You miss moments that matter—birthdays, concerts, simple Sunday mornings—because you're too exhausted to show up
You snap at the people you love and then hate yourself for it
Your weekends become only about recovery, never about joy
Eventually, you burn out so completely that you have to leave, losing the career you worked so hard to build
Or worse—you stay, but you're a shell of yourself, just going through the motions
You continue feeling alone, thinking you're the only one struggling like this, wondering what's wrong with you
