Healing From Emotional Burnout - by Clint van Heerden

COURSE

Healing From Emotional Burnout

With Clint van Heerden

Emotional burnout doesn’t happen all at once. It builds gradually, often while you’re still functioning, still contributing, and still meeting expectations. This four-day audio course offers a clear and practical way to understand what emotional burnout is, why it happens, and how to begin recovering without pressure or self-judgment. Across four short sessions, you’ll explore burnout as a signal rather than a failure, learn how rest creates safety in the nervous system, understand how boundaries protect emotional energy, and begin rebuilding meaning in a way that fits who you are now. Each session includes a simple, concrete daily challenge designed to support awareness and sustainable change. This course is suitable for anyone feeling emotionally depleted, disconnected, or stretched beyond their capacity, and who wants a steady, realistic approach to healing.

Reconnecting Without Pressure

This session focuses on how constant pressure and conditional rest keep burnout in place.

The practice is about stopping earlier and allowing rest without turning it into another task.
