Burnout is often framed as a workload problem: too much to do, too little time, too few resources. And sometimes it is. But for many high-achieving professionals, burnout is also connected to the patterns that make it difficult to slow down in the first place. The pressure to keep going. The need to get it right. The tendency to carry more than your share, even when your system is already running on empty.

In The Trauma of Burnout: How to Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You, clinical psychologist and trauma therapist Dr. Claire Plumbly explores burnout through the lens of the nervous system. She looks at how chronic stress can leave us stuck in overdrive, and why the usual advice to take a break or set better boundaries can be so hard to follow when our internal system is still organized around survival. It includes practical tools to support recovery and create a more sustainable way of living and leading.
