Summary

Break the cycle of anxiety, trauma, and burnout with the help of this informative tool book, written by a professional trauma therapist and clinical psychologist.

"There is only one book on burnout that I will be recommending - this one. We need one in every office and every staff room around the world."―Dr. Julie Smith, bestselling author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before

Our human nervous system has the power to cope with high stress, but not when it's been ground down by the relentless stimuli of today’s world. Over time, these persistent demands leave us burnt out because our nervous system is stuck in survival mode, making it hard to make decisions, rest, solve problems, be mindful, and set boundaries. We slip into autopilot, making us prone to mistakes, and toxic behaviors that impact professional and personal relationships.  

Trauma of Burnout will help you avoid these vicious cycles by teaching you:

-Why stress is different from burnout
-How burnout stifles your ability to think clearly
-Why you cannot ‘think’ your way out of it 
-Cultural beliefs and psychological patterns that cause burnout
-How to soothe your nervous system back to full capacity using techniques and compassion.   

By the end of this book, you will have tools to thrive amidst the challenges of modern life through positive interactions and relationships.
