Jonny Miller explains emotional debt through allostatic load, the chronic wear-and-tear that makes your nervous system fragile. Carrying unresolved stress raises your energy expenditure by about 60% and contributes to burnout and chronic health problems.

Chapters

Most of us have two, three, four decades of accumulated emotional debt. And this emotional debt, in scientific terms is allostatic load. It's basically chronic wear and tear on the body, which creates fragility in the nervous system. This fragility leads to health conditions, burnout and chronic reactivity. An increase in static load has a 60% increase in energy expenditure in the body. 60% more energy is being wasted just by keeping this going. Yeah, it's like walking around with a big ass backpack on you. Exactly. Yeah. Like a big full of rocks. You can probably think of someone who at hair trigger, they will freak out, they go from burnout to burnout, or they have some kind of chronic health condition that is a result of this accumulated emotional debt.
