-- Why Burnout Culture Is Dying --

What is burnout?

Believe it or not, burnout isn’t just being tired or worn out. Burnout is actually a trauma state.

In fact, when examined under fMRI, the brains of people diagnosed with burnout show similar changes to those who have experienced childhood trauma.

Burnout causes actual, tangible, physical changes to your brain.

And that’s why burnout culture is dying.

Because we as people are seeing the fallacy of just working harder and harder.

We are seeing how it is robbing us of our health, our happiness and how “success” just continues to be elusive. No matter how hard you work, the goal posts keep moving further away.

In this video, I talk about all the ways in which burnout culture influences us, and why it needs to stop.

Watch the video for more and make sure to leave me a comment to let me know how this landed for you.

This video is saving me. I have been dealing with burnout and shame for months. Lost my job to it. And this makes me finally feel hopeful. Thank you, Sukie.

I just want to say a massive thank you. This is the first time in my 34 years on this earth (17 of which, dealing with problems) that I have had hope that my body can recover from CFS. The journey will be long, but it feels like this is the missing link between physical and mental symptoms. I've told so many people about your channel. Sending positive vibes all the way from England.

As a Carer I suffer burnout and have done for years and I think in society healthcare for carers needs attention. Since my husband’s disability was caused by a traumatic accident (high level spinal cord injury) the trauma has never really gone away for either of us, except- he deals with it way better than me! I am exhausted. There must be so many (carers) like me out there. Pretty much invisible in society because we literally don’t get out into society much). I went through early menopause and I wonder if this was burnout related. I ache, I’m exhausted and burnout physically and mentally ... I’m definitely going to be checking out your channel! I certainly hope that I can regain flexibility and strength back again and that it’s not just downhill from here. I’m always switched on to help my quadriplegic husband but I know it is definitely not sustainable... you have given me some hope! Thank you 😊

This is GREAT! I totally agree with you. I am so grateful that I have found you. I am experiencing so many physical, emotional & mental effects of stress, trauma, and anxiety from being in a toxic marriage with a covert narcissist that just recently ended in divorce. I was feeling my best ever when I entered the relationship 5 years ago. I now feel like a tornado ripped through and destroyed my life. I know that it is a time of transformation and healing. I just don't like feeling this way. I appreciate your teachings and practices. I trust that you will help me to release the stress from my body and mind. Thank you! <3

Excellent video! Definitely changed me perspective on leadership as a parent. Tons of parents (including me) are burnt out right now and are struggling to inspire trust and safety as leaders of their children. Would love more on this topic!

I can’t get enough of Sukie Baxter! What a wonderful soul! Thank you!🙏❤️

[SarahCrookall]

Thank you so much for this video Sukie! I’m a psychology student and trauma survivor. I absolutely love your channel. I wish they would teach these ideas in undergrad — I think they’re so important! Thank you for doing this work! 🙌

[larahannison]

Your information is so valuable !! The music in the background is a bit distracting....😔 I would like to absorb this great information. Thank you for your work ! 😊

[avaceleste]

What a gift you are! Just discovered you. I’ve been to 10 different specialized practitioners. With no help. I had the intuition that it had something to do with my vagus nerve. Now listening to your videos. I know I’m right about that and feel a little more hope now. Thank you

I can't wait until your vision is a full reality.

[siobhan]

Your videos should be absolute compulsory viewing/part of the syllabus for everyone that has anything to do with (medically) treating the public, Dr's, nurses, physios, osteopaths etc etc -= I love you and the knowledge you are bringing. Thank you so much Sukie

[Jocelynbutterfly]

You are speaking my language. I love it. You express these ideas so concisely, clearly and calmly while conveying the incredible impact and relevance of this multifaceted information. I feel the same kind of passion about these ideas and information and I appreciate you sharing all of this in such a cogent way. Wonderful.

[birdienumnums]

Your info has to be the best I have found on all these things to do with burn out vagus nerve the body the mind etc!! what a fantastic resource

[Gomieta]

Everyone in this generation needs to hear this!

[melisswadsworth]

You always bring a fascinating new way of looking at the mind-emotion-body connection. I appreciate your insights. I've had odd body aches this week and maybe I get more affected by the energy around us these days then I realize.

[aydennreda]

This is great but didn’t really touch on HOW to heal. Do i have to quit my job? Do we have to go to therapy?

[chriscowan]

I love what you said here...but it's a little ironic that the music in this particular presentation is a distraction.

[tiegz]

It's very true that people focus on the medical model too often rather than the humanistic one that deals with all the dimensions of a person's life.

Thank you Sukie. This was helpful, informative and would say that deeply wise.
