Episode 148: Combatting Burnout: Safe Retreats for Neurodivergent Individuals [Gabrielle Juliano-Villani]

All Things Private Practice Podcast

In this episode, I talk with Gabrielle Juliano-Villani about her journey, the importance of understanding our own needs for emotional regulation, and some very exciting plans for our co-hosted Neurodivergent Burnout Retreat in Belize.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

1. Understand Your Nervous System: Gabrielle shared her experience of learning about polyvagal theory. She discovered the profound impact the nervous system has on emotional regulation, a critical step in avoiding burnout.
2. Create Authentic Spaces: We discussed the importance of creating environments where neurodivergent individuals can be themselves without the pressure to conform. These spaces foster authenticity, emotional safety, and genuine connections.
3. Retreat Experience in Belize: Gabrielle and I are planning a neurodivergent retreat in San Ignacio, Belize, in January 2025. This immersive cultural experience aims to provide a relaxing and supportive environment amidst beautiful nature, holistic healing practices, and the serene pace of life.
