The burnout solution: 12 weeks to a calmer you

We live in an era of 'yes, I can'. We tell ourselves that whatever we want to achieve, if we work hard enough, we can do it.

But sometimes this results in something very different indeed - a severe case of 'no, I really, really can't'.

Burnout is a state of chronic stress that leads to physical and emotional exhaustion, cynicism, detachment, feelings of ineffectiveness and lack of accomplishment - many of the same symptoms as depression.

Burnout is on the increase as we struggle to juggle the pressures of work and family life with a constant feeling of always being on.

Through her own experience of burnout and her work as a psychotherapist, Siobhan Murray has developed a 12-week plan for overcoming this condition.
