Empathic and implementable strategies for anyone tired of being told to “just relax.”
Burnout will not be reversed from a meditation retreat or taking up jogging. And those who find themselves at their wit’s end due to exploitative systems are not to be blamed for simply “not taking care of themselves.”
This inclusive book is for anyone looking for evidence—based and clinically—informed strategies for real relief from burnout. Each of the eight keys presented here moves beyond typical self—care and stress—management techniques, inviting readers to learn experientially and evaluate to see what works for them. The book is designed to be used differently by each unique reader, as it’s written to support those who feel called to stay in a role that’s burning them out, those who plan to stop or step back in the future, or those who want space to discern their options. The book concludes with guidance to leverage individual privilege both socially and politically to change exploitative systems and reduce harm.
