Recovering from burnout after a NICU stay with Dr. Claire Plumbly | S3E38

Going through burnout after a NICU stay is incredibly common, and when you feel like you can’t just have a break from life, how are you supposed to recover? Joining us to discuss all things burnout is Dr. Claire Plumbly, the Director of Good Therapy Ltd and also an experienced HCPC-Registered Clinical Psychologist and EMDR consultant supervisor. As well as 1-1 therapy, she runs regular workshops on burnout; boundaries; anxiety and overthinking and is the author of Burnout: How to Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You.

You’ll be sure to find some nuggets in this episode that you can try straight away that will hopefully help with your levels of stress. 

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• What burnout actually is
• The role the nervous system plays in your body and how to recognise when you’re in the “amber” fight or flight response and the “red” shutdown response
• How to transition between different activities like your to-do list and putting your child to bed without stress
• Finding a person you feel safe to open up to and how to ask for (and accept!) help
• The three types of compassion and especially how you can improve your compassion with yourself
