Rest Isn't Enough: Values, Strengths and Recovery — Dr Ben Searle


Listen Later

Season 2, Episode 3

Rest is necessary. But for most people in burnout recovery, it's not enough. In this conversation, organisational psychologist Dr Ben Searle explains what positive psychology adds to burnout recovery, and why reconnecting with your values and strengths is what actually brings you back.


Ben spent 20 years researching burnout before going through it himself. In this episode, we cover why the first sign of burnout is often a fading of positive experiences rather than exhaustion, how to use your values and strengths to rebuild confidence, and how to tell the difference between a fear decision and a values decision when returning to work.


Share. Inspire. Explore. is the podcast from Where I'm At, honest conversations on burnout, career change, and what comes next for working professionals.
