Running on empty? Feeling disconnected? Clinical psychologist and EMDR consultant Dr Claire Plumbly joins Liz to help you bounce back from burnout and overwhelm.

Claire walks Liz through the three signs you're burnt out (and why these often blur with menopause symptoms), and how big T and little T traumas may impact our behaviours.

Claire also chats to Liz about our flight-or-fight response, and breaks down the role of our vagus nerve and nervous system, drawing on the Polyvagal Theory. She also shares simple strategies to self-soothe.
