Caring for the Long Haul: End Emotional Outsourcing to Live Your Values (Part 4)
Description
#370: What does it actually take to stay engaged for the long haul when the world feels overwhelming and the crises keep coming? Showing up once is one thing, but sustaining care and action over months and years is an entirely different challenge.
In this episode, I close out our series on how emotional outsourcing shapes our political engagement. We’ve talked about freeze, rage, and depletion. Now we turn to the long haul: how to remain present and effective without burning out or shutting down.
Tune in this week to learn why your nervous system struggles with chronic exposure to distressing news and why activist culture often overlooks the body that is doing the work. You’ll learn practical ways to stay engaged for the long haul, including pendulation between activation and resource, titration of how much information you take in, and the importance of co-regulation and community.
