Mood Check: Defining Burnout

“Burnout” is a concept that has blown up in the culture as a term that is both very specific and has also been criticized as not specific enough. Let’s work with that. Burnout prevention therapist Anna Lindberg Cedar MPA LCSW summarizes and critiques current definitions of burnout in this latest Therapy For Real Life episode. Anna argues that we need a very flexible term for the conversation around burnout to be as inclusive as possible. She goes on to argue that valuing inclusivity and resisting the urge to over-pathologize burnout may help us solve it together. Tune in to the conversation around burnout to personalize what successful burnout prevention looks like for you. This is not therapy. This Is Real Life.
