Ania Nowak Burnout Coach

#1️⃣ reason you struggle with burnout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🖲You go to extremes when it comes to overcoming or preventing burnout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌You treat it like a mission and you do everything in your power to beat burnout. You have a perfect schedule of self-care, breaks, routine, time off and you stick to it. You meditate, make sure you go for a walk every day, eat healthy, sleep 8 hours every night. You stress when something doesn't go according to the plan. By this carefully curated plan, you do a lot!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
OR⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❌You believe that nothing can break you and you have endless amount of energy every day. You push through and complete all the tasks on your to-do list. You ever say 'no' to another client or extra thing at work. You ignore signs your body is telling you, so you push yourself to do more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These both extremes seem pretty hectic and tiring.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Instead of doing so much of everything, whether is is insane self-care plan or taking on all the tasks you can- try finding balance in:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉self-care, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉productivity, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉pleasure and fun⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉setting boundaries⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

❗Changes in thoughts that are early signs of burnout. But because they are thoughts, you might ignore them or find reasons to belittle them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚠️Do these thoughts sound familiar?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🖲I feel like no one appreciates me and my work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🖲My head is so full that I don't know how to handle anything anymore.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🖲I feel ashamed of feeling tired all the time and I don't want to tell anyone about it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🖲Some days I want to cancel all my sessions with clients.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🖲I don't recognize myself anymore. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With time these thoughts will evolve into habits, imposter syndrome, sabotage, excuses to abandon self-care and slowly but surely lead to burnout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But it doesn't have to be this way. You can prevent burnout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By developing self-awareness and and independence in acknowledging your needs and taking mindful actions to meet them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

➡️ 5 ways to get rid of the load after the whole day of therapy sessions with your clients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚠️Burnout happens when you neglect your needs for too long. This affects your self-awareness and the strengths of connection with your body to the point that you start missing out the warning signs it is trying to communicate with you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The full attention you are giving your clients and the load they drop onto you, with time, starts being overwhelming, so make sure you shake off the load every day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Here's how:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ After each session shake your hands or the whole body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This physical and symbolic exercise will help you 'close' the previous session and be fully present for your next clients. It will also help you release any load or energy from your clients. It serves to protect you and your clients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Make mindful breathing a norm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Implement mindful breathing exercises various times a day, especially before, between and after client work. This will help you be connected to yourself, aware of your feelings and body as well as be more present.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ Scream into a pillow (if you really feel like it). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether is anger or accumulated emotions from the whole day of listening to your clients and not having much time to rest, screaming into a pillow can give you a good release of unwanted energy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ Walk barefoot and focus on the sensation you notice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mindful walking help bringing your attention to the present moment, calm your mind and develop self-awareness of your body and emotions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5️⃣ Try visualization techniques.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Create a techniques that you feel comfortable with, for example, by imagining that the clients' load has a shape of a big red ball. You hold it and out it into a box. This needs to be your own visualization method.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Your turn. Which technique are you going to try first?👇 .

Here's a hard truth: THERE'S NOTHING EMPOWWRING ABOUT BEING BURNOUT AND HIDING IT. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Head to my stories for mini trainings and more detailed value that captions don't contain.

Therapists watch out! Burnout can show up in your life in many ways. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Lack of interest in your work, apathy and mental and physical exhaustion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. You feel numb and emotionally disconected. You start avoiding your clients and you find it difficult to focus and produce decent work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. You start wondering where your creativity went and you start doubting your skills and abilities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. You find it hard to make decisions and solve problems. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. You don't feel appreciated anymore and you cannot remember the meaning of your work.

Therapists, you need to read this! 3 ways to rest and restore your energy if you don't have time (or you believe you don't have time ).

➡️In moments of doubt, read this‼️

You might be reading and thinking...sounds great but I don't have time to waste.

Sounds familiar?

You see...working constantly, being always available has been glamourised as the correct way of doing things to the point that rest is coded deeply in your subconscious as a waste of time.

⚠️This the drives you to feel guilty and staying in a whirlpool of work and battling guilt. To avoid guilt you work more.

But the thing is, it's all an artificial creation that sooner or later will drive you to BURNOUT.

You don't know where to start, I get it. Suddenly adding rest to your daily schedule feels odd.

❗But remember:

✅Rest is productive.
✅Rest is part of your job as a therapist.
✅Rest is yourresponsibility.
✅Rest is part of your ethics to provide clients with the quality support.
✅Rest is your right, not a luxury.

👉💣To implement rest and self-care in your daily routine without guilt, you need to work on your mindset, habits and confidence.

1 of the 5 steps in my 1:1 work with therapists is diving deep into mindset work, so they can prevent burnout mindfully, intentionally and with confidence.

👉 What’s the biggest obstacle for rest you're facing?

Who needs to be reminded of this today? 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

TRUTH 💣 coming your way.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I cringe when clients tell me that they try to overcome burnout with self-care and it's not working. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self-care is crucial to beat burnout, but self-care alone has only short-term effect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self-care is only one of the five steps therapists need to take to beat burnout and be resilient enough to prevent it whenever it starts sneaking upon you again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But let's get back to self-care. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self-care is much more than just a weekend off or a long walk. It is also the way you approach your needs and your mindset. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3 elements absolutely crucial to remember for self-care to work:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make daily space for self-care, set boundaries and stick to it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Give yourself permission to do something for yourself every day that will help you restore the energy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Practice self-care intentionally and mindfully. Make it part of your job as the way to restore your energy to keep yourself and your clients safe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Following these 3 tips will help you get rid of guilt for taking time for yourself and your needs. And this is important as guilt drains your energy, so whatever you restored when practicing self-care, very quickly disappears. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🔥What I wish I knew when I could no longer stand my job...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Back in the day when I was totally exhausted, had no motivation and overworked, little did I know how to handle it. It drove me to burnout and as an unexperienced counsellor, I blamed myself for it all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️It's not that I didn't like my job, but I felt that something was missing. I later discovered it was PURPOSE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when I rediscovered my purpose for helping other people, I fell in love with coaching and used my therapy and psychology skills and, knowledge and qualifications to add even more value to my coaching. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PURPOSE is the first step to making sure that you can handle all demands, develop confidence and resilience ➡️ that will help you prevent or beat burnout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Establishing or reminding yourself of your purpose is the first step to beating burnout successfully. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉Reflect on these three questions:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣What is your big 'why' for being a therapist or other mental health professional?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣What is your vision for the future, where do you want to go?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣What drives you every day to keep going?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉Comment below, what is your big why for being a therapist?

I have seen this too many times...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many therapists I worked with treat themselves as superheroes (and they are), but thinking that they can do it all and help everyone. They drive themselves to the point of total exhaustion, frustration and burnout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why? Because they forget one very important thing: you are humans first, then you are therapists. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you forgotten this?! I hope not, but in case you did, here's a little reminder for you:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are finding yourself constantly exhausted, frustrated and stuck, maybe it's time for you to remind yourself that first you are a human, then you are a therapist.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take care of yourself and treat yourself with kindness.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comment below- what did you do today to be kind to yourself?

5 steps for therapists to take to beat burnout.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚠️Burnout among therapists is so common and it saddest me. You are helping others and with compassion give away your energy daily without any expectations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚠️But giving daily without replacing the energy leads to burnout and compassion fatigue and you deserve to be looked after as well. Coaching is one of the most powerful investments you can make that would not only help you to beat burnout but also create mindset shift and habits to improve all areas of your life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Now I'm curious- how burnout affects you?

🔥Are you respecting your privilege? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being a therapist is a privilege, you get to help so many people to have a better and happier life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But if you are constantly exhausted, impatient to finish sessions with your clients and cynical- you need to realize that it's not helping anyone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only that ➡️ it's unfair to your clients, they don't deserve to pay for low quality services of a burnout therapists. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First resolve the burnout, then help others. Otherwise it's unethical.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉It's not your choice, it's your responsibility ❗

If you are a therapist, looking after your mental health is as important as professional development

But...

Do you work as much on keeping your mind healthy and rested as much as gathering next qualifications and certificates?

This might make you angry with me, but it's the truth: most therapist abandoned the work on their personal development, which leads them to burnout and ultimately providing poor quality of service to their clients.

Do you think it's ok? Because I don't think so.

⚠️Managing your burnout is part of your job.❗
And it's not just for you, it's also for your clients. It's an ethical thing yo do.

Would you go to a stressed out, burnout doctor, who can easily make mistakes and prescribed you a wrong medication? Because I wouldn't. The same as I wouldn't hire burnt out therapists, who is not able to be fully present with me.

That why I always invest in hiring counsellor and coaches to help me be in the best shape for my clients.

You have 3 choices:

1️⃣ do nothing and burnout and fail
2️⃣ do it alone, hustle, struggle and suffer
3️⃣ or hire a burnout expert and follow a smooth path do beat burnout

The choice is your❗
Are you ready to take your mental health and your clients seriously and with respect?

👇Comment YES❗

👇Comment if you relate...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When the biggest struggle is the shock of not recognizing yourself- time, kindness to yourself and keeping things simple is the best thing you can do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes...burnout sometimes makes you not recognize yourself. You forget the passion and purpose you had to be a therapist and help others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or maybe your calm nature is hiding somewhere far away and you get frustrated easily and say things you later regret to the people you love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or perhaps you stopped liking your clients and you feel like cancelling your sessions but you don't because the guilt and shame overpowers you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉If you can relate to any of this remember, it is not your fault: it's BURNOUT⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And the best thing you can do is to be kind to yourself, keep it simple and don't be afraid to reach out for help.

❗10 symptoms therapists ignore that could be burnout.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You might be one of those therapists that have been dreaming of helping people since the age of 5. But now you are finding yourself constantly exhausted, unmotivated to the point of being cynical about your own skills and your clients abilities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But you blame yourself for feeling that way and feel shame of not being 100% productive, dedicated and helpful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are great at recognizing needs of others and helping them, but this sensitivity and elevated empathy might sometimes stop you from recognizing your own needs and struggles.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚠️Look at these 10 symptoms. Can you relate? Do you have any of these symptoms? Be honest with yourself and take action, because burnt out you cannot help anybody. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The moment I realised that realized that self-care, mental health breaks, boundaries and saying no are not signs of selfishness or arrogance but my obligation to stay in a good shape for my own well-being and well-being of others.

Remember:

By taking care of yourself the way I need to, meeting your physical, emotional and spiritual needs, I make sure that I am fully present for my clients and loved ones and can offer them my support and time at high quality.

When burnout out I am at disservice to myself and everyone else.

Let me reintroduce myself in case you are just joining. It is my honour to have you in this community and provide you with valuable content.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My name is Ania (formally Anna, but in my home country, Poland, everyone calls me Ania). I love coffee, food, traveling and learning languages (on on mission to master Arabic). I traveled to 60+ countries and lived 5. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had a dream of big adventures and becoming a psychologist since I was very young. So, a few weeks after graduating from high school, I packed all my staff (which fit in two bags) and left to Scotland for some adventure while taking a gap year before returning to Poland to study psychology.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But life has its tricks- I quickly fell in love with Scotland, it is still one of my favourite places on earth. So I decided to apply for psychology there and I was shocked that I entered into one of the best univeristies in the country. I was so happy, but the work was real (studying in the 2nd language and holding 3 part time jobs to sustain myself was struggle beyond exhaustion). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But guess what! My dream was too big to moan. I graduated and continued my training in counselling and psychotherapy (mindfulness and Buddhist psychology). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Together with studying and being a counsellor, I burnt myself out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I started questioning myself and the profession. Left for Chile, designed incredible mindfulness based programs for companies and schools and that's how I discovered coaching. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Years later, I love my profession again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am now on mission to help therapists beat burnout and develop life-long skills to prevent it in the future. I provide coaching, not therapy anymore (but my skills and knowledge are so valuable to provide the best coaching services to my clients). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'd love to get to know you, comment below who you are and what would you like to learn her?

👉2 steps to be a better therapist and avoid burnout :

✔Step 1:
Identify your needs, for example the amount of rest you need, hobbies, things you love doing, things you want to say ''yes'' to and what you need to say ''no'' to. Take an occasional day off.

✔Step 2:
Give yourself permission to do these things (and believe me, there is always time). Small amounts of time off and things you love regularly will help you be 100 time more effective in all my roles: a therapist, family member, spouse, friend.

Sounds simple, right? So many of my clients struggle with following these two steps. And lack of time isn't the reason. It's all in the mindset and limiting beliefs.

💣That's why in my signature 12-week program Beat the Burnout Blueprint I work with my clients on their mindset and reprograming their limiting beliefs, so adding time to your daily routine and prioritizing your needs (even if in small doses) will make tremendous impact on your well-being and help you overcome burnout (or avoid it altogether).

2 non-negotiables:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ You need to take care of yourself for your own well-being and health.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ You need to be in a good shape to serve your clients and help them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❗STOP NOW AND LISTEN: you constantly give yourself to others. When the resources finish, there will be nothing left to give. By working on yourself and your burnout, you learn how to restore those resources to you can keep giving them, helping others, changing the world while saving yourself as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

❗5 habits that stop therapists from beating burnout.🔥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Often burnout can be avoided or the recovery from it accelerated. If you ever hear that you burnt yourself out, it is maybe the time to reflect and do an inventory of your habits. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many times, you drive yourself straight to burnout by staying in a cycle of habits. The same habits don't let you break that cycle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Avoids daily reflections⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't underestimate the power of journaling or daily reflection. It helps you put thought into order and be on track with your feelings or things you do and don't want in your life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Follows bad diet and lack of exercise⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In healthy body, healthy soul...does it sound familiar? Look after your body with healthy eating and movement habits that make you happy but at the same time are good for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ Wants to do everything alone⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can do anything you want, I have no doubt. But just because you can, doesn't mean you have to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ Says yes when wants to say no⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Setting boundaries and developing an ability to say YES and NO when necessary is a skill you have master. Even little changes can make a huge impact on your well-being. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5️⃣ Postpones self-care and rest⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I said it mullion times and will repeat again: if you don't work well, there's nothing you can do for others. First you take care of yourself, before you give your energy to or other people in your life etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What have you been struggling this week? Comment below and I'll respond with free coaching.

2 things that contribute to therapist's burnout:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣Lack of confidence in their skills⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣Lack of strong boundaries⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These two elements are crucial to establishing a healthy work-life balance and positioning you in a place in which you serve with confidence and belief in yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉Consciously you might think that you are a badass therapist, but on the subconscious level you might doubt yourself and let imposter syndrome question yourself, your skills and your usefulness to your clients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉Boundaries allow you to set expectations of yourself and your clients that don't compromise your well-being and values. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's why in my signature program Beat the Burnout Blueprint I teach my clients how to set boundaries and provide them with container, in which they strengthen their resilience and develop confidence to be resistant to self-doubt and imposter syndrome.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
