Burnout Recovery: from exhaustion to resilience
A 6-week programme on how to recover or protect ourselves from (another) burnout.
It's happening all the time.
You hear about it all around you.
Your friends. Your colleagues. Your partner. You.
If everybody keeps mentioning the word "burnout" very often the last few months, it's because there is a "mental wave" of people suffering from burnout or are at risk of having one.
The numbers are growing and millions of people are seeking support in order to recover or protect themselves from going through a burnout.

How many of them do you see in yourself?...
I know burnout.
I have worked with hundreds of people that have been through a burnout.
I have been invited by international companies and organisations in order to support their employees through burnout.
I have been the guest speaker for colleges and universities to talk about burnout in students, PhD candidates and academic staff.
I know burnout.
I know how emotionally and mentally drained it leaves you.
I know how scared you become of the possibility that you will go through this again.
I know how much you miss the old "you" that enjoyed life in that light and carefree way.
And I am here to help you not only recover from burnout, but also build resilience and prevent it from happening in your life again.

What is Burnout?
According to ICD-10, "Burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed".
We need to talk about Burnout.
We need to understand that it can be prevented.
In order to do that, we need to find the cause and to remove it.
We need to understand what are the cognitive, emotional and behavioral elements who lead to a burnout.
Once we know them, we can armor ourselves not only against burnout but against any other mental health challenge.

How can a burnout affect our brain?
#1: It enlarges your amygdala - the part of your brain that controls emotions and emotional reactions.
Hence, your mood is affected and you feel sad, depressed, hopeless, numb, empty.
#2: The part of the brain that controls memory and attention is weakened. Therefore, you can't concentrate and you keep forgetting, to a degree which is new and strange to you.
#3: Burnout makes your prefrontal cortex thinner: this is the center of decision-making and information-processing. Your solving-problem skills get weaker, as a result.

Does this sound familiar?
Does this sound familiar?
There are two ways that we can go about it:
#1
Wait until our workplace changes the way they manage their business and their teams
Wait until our colleagues are not displaying dysfunctional interpersonal behaviors
Wait until the workload is less and more manageable
Wait until our job is more fun and less boring or monotonous
Wait until people around us understand that we are struggling and start supporting us
Wait until another job opportunity comes and change job
OR
#2
Focus on what it is that WE can do and change in order to protect our mental health and our boundaries.
That's why you're here: because you're taking the control of your life.
You are not waiting any more for things to happen.
YOU MAKE THEM HAPPEN.
(Trust me, I have seen many people changing jobs because of burnout, only to go through their next burnout a couple of months later in the new job)
The REAL solution is not outside, but inside us.

Here's a couple of questions I often hear about Burnout:
- How can we recognise the early signs of a burnout?
- Why do we stagnate for long periods, even though we are hard-workers and individuals with high potential?
- What are the factors that make us more vulnerable and susceptible to an anxiety disorder or a burnout?
- How can we best protect ourselves from that possibility?
- How do we stop self-sabotage?
- What shall we do when we are in the midst of a burnout and increase the chances of recovering faster?
- During recovery time, how can we preserve our Inner Peace in the best possible way?
THAT'S WHY I HAVE CREATED THIS 6-WEEK PROGRAMME.
