I had another chat with Bronwyn Milkins, host of the Mental Work podcast, about burnout’s early warning signs, handling moral injury and cynicism, and much more.
In this issue, I discuss the actions that you can (and in many cases should) take after someone has disclosed to you that they are burning out. These include offering help (which can be trickier than you expect), respecting confidentiality, making a formal report, and keeping a record of details.
I spoke to Bronwyn Milkins, delightful host of the psychology podcast Mental Work, about my lived experiences of — and subsequent research into –burnout, and the implications for mental health professionals seeking to accurately diagnose and effectively help clients with burnout.

In this issue, I cover what you SHOULD do when someone discloses to you that they are burning out. There are four simple principles to remember: Listen, Empathise, Ask, and Do. Read this article to be able to LEAD someone in the direction of recovery.
In this episode, I am joined by organisational psychologist Melinda Phillips to discuss some of the psychosocial hazards and other challenges affecting teachers and principals in Australian schools, along with what can be done to address them.
When someone finally has the courage to open up about feeling burned out, the response they get can make a huge difference. A supportive response can facilitate trust, hope, and effective recovery.

This is an article about what NOT to do.

I appeared on the Share, Inspire, and Explore podcast to discuss why recovery from burnout can be so difficult. Across two episodes I explain six obstacles to recovery, and I provide some advice on how to overcome them.
