Burnout series episode 4: Strategies that actually help

So you've tried all the burnout strategies you can find: Mindfulness, eating better, exercising, goign to bed early ...aaaannnnnd they didn't work. Guess you'll just stay burned out forever, right? Not necessarily...

The stuff that really works to help with burnout (and trauma responses) are just not as pithy, toxic-positivity-y, and clickbait-y as the stuff we tend to hear the most about. Not that those things aren't useful for healing, mental health, and recovery...just that complex problems often require complex solutions and burnout? It's complicated, BABYYYY!!!!

TOPICS COVERED:

• The issue with "typical" strategies
• The ONE strategy we could all use more of
• Strategies for emotional processing (bottom-up)
• "Small" strategies that can have a big impact
• A rough burnout series summary
