✨What Is an Emotional Hangover? The Science Behind Why You're Still Tired from That Big Event...

Описание: In this powerful episode of Mentally Strong Mums, we unpack the science and psychology of the “emotional hangover” — that lingering fog, fatigue, and heaviness you feel after intense emotional experiences.

Whether it’s after a heated argument with your partner, a parenting meltdown, or an unexpected wave of grief, emotional hangovers are real and common. But most mums don’t realise what’s happening in their brain and body, and worse, they often blame themselves for not bouncing back faster.

Elena walks you through:
• The neurobiology of emotional hangovers (hello, cortisol, adrenaline, and the amygdala!)
• Why highly sensitive or neurodiverse mums may feel this more intensely
• The role of emotional repression and unprocessed stress
• How to recover with grace, not guilt
• What to teach your kids about post-emotion recovery
If you've ever said "Why am I still so exhausted from yesterday?" — this episode is for you.
