Unfortunately, there are far too many causes and campaigns for those who are suffering on every level. We could cry endless tears over our personal, communal, and national tragedies, which never seem to have a limit. But in the private space of therapy, a different struggle shows up; I often find myself gently pulling clients away from the woes of the world and back toward their own internal landscape — the private hurts that are so much harder to sit with than someone else’s crisis.
If I could rename Cheshvan, I’d call it Burnout Month. The whirlwind of the Chagim is finally behind us. The sukkah has been taken down, the endless meals have been eaten, and the unstructured time is turning back to routine. The complicated family and relationship dynamics that swirl through every Yom Tov season have run their course, at least for now. The dust is settling. We’re easing back into structure, hoping it will serve us well. And to top it all off, the days are getting shorter, and the season of slow is settling in.
