Description

From mental breakdowns to the terrifying increase in suicide risk – the dangers of burnout, especially in high-functioning professions, are real and tangible.

These are the go-getters, the movers and shakers, who’ve climbed their way to the top, but now they’re teetering on a dangerous ledge.

Sleep? A distant memory. Their spark? Dimming by the day. We’re talking zombiemode, feeling like their world is crumbling around them. This is no joke – burnout is skyrocketing to the #1 spot for time off requests.

This is not your typical anxiety/depression case, and it can be hard to know what to address first; do you start with their physical symptoms like exhaustion? Or do you tackle the mental hurdles of perfectionism, work as an addiction, and compassion fatigue?

Dr. Katherine Daly has spent almost a decade working with these types of professionals and put together this amazing training to give you the blueprint for reducing anxiety, stress, and burnout symptoms for your clients in high-demand professions.

You’ll get:

  • Burnout-specific skills for working through maladaptive perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and more!
  • Strategies for improving sleep, nutrition, and exercise
  • Treatment approaches like CBT, exposure therapy, and systematic desensitisation
  • Homework exercises and case studies

Become the clinician who not only understands the pressure your clients are experiencing but has the tools to help them through that pressure as well!
