Listeners will be introduced to the first 3 steps in Shaina’s Beyond Burnout Blueprint: creating a compelling vision, welcoming the unwanted and watching your words as burnout buffer. This strategy helps clinicians and clients alike imagine a future that is grounded in values while bolstering their resilience and growth. Shaina highlights key tools such as cognitive defusion, willingness, and compassionate imagery, offering evidence-based techniques that can transform how we relate to stress and burnout.
