🜂 BATTLE PLAN REPORT: The Case of the Quiet Collapse
(Burnout / Responsibility Overload / Nervous System Reset)
“Some collapses are dramatic. Others happen silently while the person keeps functioning.”
This case involved Harriet, 41, living in Norwich.
Harriet held everything together.
Full-time job. Two children. Elderly parent. Household logistics.
No breakdown. No tears. No days off.
Just increasing numbness.
She described it like this:
“I’m doing everything. I just don’t feel anything anymore.”
⚙️ Diagnosis
This was functional burnout — where the nervous system goes into energy conservation mode.
Emotions flatten. Motivation thins. Joy disappears.
But outward performance continues.
She wasn’t lazy or depressed in the clinical sense.
She was running on emergency reserves.
⚙️ The Method
Distance Influence focused on calming the baseline stress response and restoring emotional range.
Dokology then addressed structure:
• remove one non-essential obligation
• 20 minutes daily without productivity
• micro-pauses to re-enter the body
I told her:
“Recovery isn’t collapse. It’s maintenance.”
🜃 The Result
Emotion returned slowly — not dramatic happiness, but feeling present again.
She stopped operating like a machine.
Energy became steadier, not just forced.
🜃 Reflection
Burnout doesn’t always look like falling apart.
Sometimes it looks like carrying on too well for too long.
