Therapist Explains Why Relaxing Is Difficult

Hindustan Times · lifestyle

Many people struggle to relax even during time off, as their minds remain preoccupied with unfinished tasks and responsibilities. Florida-based therapist Jeffrey Meltzer explains this happens because the brain may not feel it has permission to let go of worries. To combat this, Meltzer suggests consciously giving your brain permission to relax for a set period, like two hours, before returning to stressful thoughts. This structured approach can help individuals truly unwind and recover from burnout during their breaks.
