Is Burnout Really A Thing For Women In Caring Professions?
by Dee Hennessy
Many of us working in Caring Professions - leading, caring for, and supporting others - do not resonate with the word burnout. We might think of ourselves as naturally resilient, able to cope with all of the challenges that we habitually work through. We might also wonder if burnout might be some kind of moral judgment or failure. Burnout is simply a result of carrying too much stress for too long. It's not our fault. Burnout is a systems failure but as individuals, we can support ourselves to avoid or recover from this debilitating experience. In this talk, I explore awareness of where we are on the Blossom to Burnout continuum as the necessary first step in building real resilience and well-being as we continue to care for others.
