How to burn bright and avoid burn out

Walk the Talk with POINT3 Wellbeing

In this Walk the Talk episode we talk with NHS clinical psychologist, Dr. Megan Swanson, M.Ed., PsyD where we discuss burnout, and ways to burn bright in 2021 and beyond.

Burnout is defined by the W.H.O as an occupational phenomena caused by chronic workplace stress.

It is of increasing concern for people as we navigate the modern day stresses of life and the changing ways we work as a result of the pandemic.

And while there is no single panacea for burnout, there are steps that organisations and individuals can take to help mitigate the risk of burnout.

In this first episode of Walk the Talk we chat with clinical psychologist Dr Megan Swanson about the rise of burnout during the pandemic.

We look at stress, the stress cycle and why we get ill after a prolonged period of being in the stress state, before we discuss solutions to overcome stress and to avoid burnout.

And if you are interested in learning more about our Mental Health Awareness Training this page details more about how we support businesses when it comes to safeguarding employees from a mental health perspective.

We’ve also created a special How to Hybrid Well(being) Series of mindset talks to help raise individual and collective awareness amongst employees during this time of change, so that they have the tools to help themselves and each other, so they can perform to their best regardless of the circumstances.

Be well, be happy, be you.
