Burnout Geese

There are phases to burnout recovery and to eliminate severe burnout …completing all of them is essential .

One of the reasons burnout can be so hard to shift is that sufferers (& their healthcare advisors) repeatedly jump to phase 5 without doing the preparation and groundwork phases . Without a proper foundation burnout merely embeds , festers or repeats .

One of the earliest phase actions with Burnout Geese is to do our short quiz . It is not diagnostic but it helps to scope out what you know about burnout and to clarify precisely how it is affecting you . This is a really important step in the flight path out of burnout

Q: When to take our quiz?

There is a journey into burnout and a flight path out of burnout. And they are not the same route.

What does this mean? It means that using a simple reversal of what appears to have got you into burnout is rarely sufficient to get you fully out of it… permanently.

What tends to happen too is that a cyclical pattern gets set up so that burnout recycles itself … resulting in many sequential episodes where the burnout appears to get better but in fact it goes underground merely to emerge again ( often worse each time) .

So if any of this feels like something you’ve been going through and you’d like to get out of burnout for good…you can do our quiz on the home page as a first step.

There are 6 phases to burnout resolution. One of the reasons it is so tough to reverse burnout and keep it reversed is that people tend to want to jump to phase 5 without doing the first 4.

Phase 5 is "implementation of a reverse burnout plan" but what are the other 4 ?

Burnout tends to never go if 1-4 are not done first.
And - even if 5 is completed - without 6 there is a risk it will return.
