Work Family Me - Conversations with Maude
A conversation about the phases of burnout
We often talk about the later stages of burnout, the results, the exhaustion, the depression, the physical collapse. We don't talk so much about the thinking patterns, behavioural changes and phases prior to that.
In this short (20 min-ish) solo episode I share with you the 12 stages of burnout as coined by Herbert Freudenberger and Gail North in the early 90s and some practical real life behaviour or thinking you may notice for yourself or those you love. Take a listen to hear:
- what sets us up for burnout. When we understand the root causes we can go there to make changes vs cycle through the phases to burnout, take a month off to recover and then do it all again
- the phase most of my 1:1 clients stay in because they can't "afford" to collapse - they are often the caretakers and breadwinners and foundations for people who depend on them
- a little known diagnosis and term that may support you to get medical help and benefits (high functioning depression is not recognised as a clinical diagnosis)
If you recognise yourself here and want to chat through your support options please book a call using the 1:1 work with me link below. It sucks to feel anxious, overwhelmed and exhausted - know that you are not alone.
