Key takeaways

Being busy or stressed is not the same as being successful or healthy Society often mixes these up

Burnout usually sneaks up slowly Small repeated trades in self care for work lead to long term problems

We get hooked on stress & adrenaline, similar to an addiction, especially when we link it to our identity

Ignoring recovery leads to lower creativity & productivity Recovery is as important as hard work for true performance

Chronic stress causes changes in the brain like thinning of the prefrontal cortex & shrinking hippocampus which harms memory & decision making

Changes like more coffee, poor eating, snapping at loved ones, & losing motivation are early symptoms of burnout

Our work, stresses, & environment lead to misdiagnosed issues like depression when the real issue is burnout

Work is as addictive as drugs, causing harmful behavior patterns & hurting relationships if left unchecked

The subconscious mind carries stories & beliefs from childhood that shape our habits—even sabotaging sleep & health

Clinical hypnotherapy helps access & change subconscious patterns, enabling lasting recovery from burnout & related issues
