How to STOP Burnout in 3 Steps - Tips from A Psychologist

What is burnout, how does it happen, and how do we heal from it? When we feel stressed for too long without adequate resources to cope, it leads us to burnout. These days, burnout is everywhere and it can impact people from all walks of life, but it isn’t what we are hardwired to experience as human beings. If you’ve been impacted by burnout, you know how debilitating it can be.

Burnout is seemingly less and less avoidable these days. Remember that if you’re experiencing it, it’s not your fault, nor is it a reflection of your skills or competence. It’s possible to reverse the symptoms of burnout, so hang in there, in this video I’m sharing my 3 step plan for how to stop burnout today.

This video was amazing. Thank you for teaching people the value of rest, slowing down and listening to your needs. It's sad we have to unlearn so many ideals that ultimately hurt us. I took notes and I'll be using this for the rest of grad school! Thank you!!

I will never allow burnout to ruin my life again!! Its a shame we have to hit the bottom before allowing ourselves to rest. Your videos are soooo good!

Therese, thank you for this video! Rest and self-care are integral to anyone's overall productivity and happiness. These tips are great. Thank you!

The bloopers crack me up! You’re speaking directly to me in this one (and the others)…it’s like you’re in my mind 😂🥰

You are incredible! This is super enlightening. Love it when you say "glorifying busy-ness", this spoke to me haha! I'm totally guilty of this. There is no such glory for being too busy all the time. Once or twice I've felt the increasing feeling of burnout, and gave personal lessons on avoiding them in the future. Thank you for these mighty helpful tips!

Such an important topic, and such a hard thing to prioritize!

[oliviabentan]

Such a sneaky feeling... I feel that you touched on a point there with boundaries and self care. Very close to home for me. Great tips as always and good energy 🤩

There are like a BILLION actionable strategies in this video!

[Joolieification]

Great tips - Making time for self care regularly and before burn out I find really useful, having some alone time or going for a walk I find helps me relax and gives me more energy and focus for a busy life

[kellyblakely]

What a informative video about burn-out. When I was answering the questions in the exercise, it helped me to review definition and symptoms of burnout. I hope to acknowledge if I experience burnout. Embracing imperfection is a new personal goal of mine.

[alakalufi]

Good incentives for staying aware and exploringtherapy! ;)

[tammystiletto]

Can you talk about how to recharge your social battery?? I’m finding tips like, have a cup of tea, journal..but none of that refills the incredible empty feeling I get after being over sensitized from too many people around me all the time.

[Arianagizycko]

Great video once again! 4:00 - the "negative Person" made me think of toxic positivity. Any chance you could talk about that in the future? :)

[heatherselenepiedra]

I resonated with this so much! 🥹 All of it.
