3 Signs You've Hit Clinical Burnout And Should Seek Help | Dr Jo Perkins
About this episode
Dr Jo Perkins discusses the signs of clinical burnout and its impact, especially on individuals with ADHD.
Burnout doesn't always look like a breakdown. Sometimes it looks like pushing through, feeling numb, forgetting who you are, or wondering why everything suddenly feels so much harder. I'm joined by Dr Jo Perkins, an eminent Chartered Psychologist who supports senior business professionals and organisations to develop effective strategies to optimise psychological performance. Dr Jo explains how burnout develops, why so many people miss the warning signs, and why it can hit people with ADHD especially hard.Together, we explore the difference between being tired and having a nervous system that can no longer recover, the hidden role of masking, and what real recovery actually looks like. If you've ever thought, "I'm just exhausted," but suspect it's something more, this conversation could change the way you understand burnout.
