75 - Case Study #2 Eden - organiser burnout and vicarious trauma

The Frontline Herbalism Podcast

This episode dives into detail exploring a case study on herbal support following trauma. Learn about potential herbal and nutritional options for Eden:

Eden (they/them) has been engaged in grassroots organising very intensely for a long time. They are completely exhausted. They are sleeping 9-11 hours a night now but have been sleeping only a few hours a night for several months/years up until recently. They don’t wake up feeling refreshed. They need four coffees to get through the day. They don’t really have an appetite. They have been vegan for 12 years but don’t really have the energy or enthusiasm to cook any more. They don’t take any medications or supplements. They are feeling increasingly disillusioned and depressed with the horror of the world.
