Awareness and Hope Beyond Burnout

About Episode In this episode, I share updated evidence-based information on burnout and the recovery and prevention of it with a blend of lived experiences from myself and past guests to give awareness and hope to move beyond burnout. You will also get a chance to be guided through a few psychological practices to assist you in making a start on responding, preventing and growing from burnout.About the Host/GuestMy name is Shannon Swales, and I am a perfectly imperfect Clinical Psychologist. I am passionate about supporting others with the mental health knowledge and skills to thrive in this life, to move from chronically stressed, burnt-out states to one of wellness. My Telehealth practice, Burnout Psychology Support, is a therapeutic space for anyone who feels overwhelmed, lost, alone, trapped and absolutely exhausted every single minute of every single day and looking for support to find a way out, a path through the chronic stress brought about by their work or caregiving responsibilities. A state I know all too well after burning out in February 2021, costing me my ability to work and forcing me to move from caring for others to caring for myself. A move that has helped me to the place of wellness I am at today, with the ability to move back to the career I was trained for, caring for others in a more balanced way.My qualifications…I am a clinical psychologist registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) - BSc (Psych) (Hons) MClinPsych MAPS. My principal psychological approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also incorporate other evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Above all else, I strive to create and maintain a safe, supportive and secure environment for people to heal in a way that feels right for them.Stay in TouchThe only way this podcast will reach the four corners of this earth, to reach people in need, is through the power of the people - you.
