What is in it

Four parts, from noticing it to staying well.

Recognise

How burnout differs from stress, a fourteen-point warning-signs check, and the five stages, so you know where you are.

Understand

What is driving it: the work, how you live, and how you approach things. Including the Rescuer pattern, and the healthier alternatives.

Reverse

The five kinds of rest, an energy audit, boundaries and saying no, and re-evaluating what matters.

Rebuild

A self-care audit, your recovery plan, when to get professional help, and a four-week check-in to track what moves.

Who it is from

I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse and business psychologist, and I have worked in mental health for over 25 years. Burnout is what I see most often in capable people, usually long after it started.

It is a self-help workbook, not therapy or a diagnosis. If you are struggling to function, or feeling hopeless, please talk to your GP. If you need help now, call 999 or the Samaritans free on 116 123.
