What is Burnout? Ep. 3

The term "burnout" has gained significant popularity, sparking widespread discussions and raising awareness. But what exactly is burnout, and how does it affect us? In today's episode, Leah provides a bird's eye view of burnout, explores its origins, and helps determine if you might be experiencing it.   There's no one-size-fits-all definition of burnout, as it can manifest differently in various individuals and professions. To help us better understand this concept, Leah delves into the Social Readjustment Scale, a tool used to assess the impact of significant life events on our stress levels. Leah introduces the concept of compassion fatigue. To help you gain a better understanding of compassion fatigue, Leah outlines some scenarios that illustrate what it might look like.   The Flourishing Flame is dedicated to helping you recognize the signs of burnout and compassion fatigue, providing you with the tools to navigate these challenging experiences.     Remember, it's perfectly okay to take a step back, prioritize self-care, and seek support from others.
