Integrative wellbeing

  • Prolonged exhaustion (burnout) is discussed in wellbeing literature alongside stress regulation and recovery habits.
  • Biofeedback can form part of a care plan as complementary support, not replacing clinical or psychological care when needed.

Complementary therapy. Not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.
