My Pocket Psych

Ep 190: Burnout - recognition and recovery


Listen Later

This is the second part of Richard's two-part interview with Dr. Richard Duggins, all about his work in treating burnout. You can find the first part of this interview here.

In this episode, Dr. Richard Duggins explains the role of the workplace and workplace culture in employees' experiene of burnout. Why 'keeping calm and carrying on' is precisely what not to do in the face of overwhelming demands. And busts some common myths about burnout.

We also look at the role of leadership and its demands when it comes to burnout, the dangerous and unsustainable coping strategies leaders may be tempted to use, and how post-burnout growth can represent a light at the end of the tunnel.

Again, big thanks to Richard for his time and expertise.

And to everyone else, thanks for listening!
