171. Dr. Claire Plumbly: Is your nervous system stuck in burnout?

Today, I’m hanging out with Dr. Claire Plumbly — Clinical Psychologist, EMDR Consultant, and author of The Trauma of Burnout. She’s also the founder of Plum Psychology, a UK-based center specializing in trauma-informed care.

In today's episode, we unpack... 

• The difference between stress and burnout
• Why burnout isn't your fault 
• The invisible load that so many women carry
• How burnout and trauma are connected
• The impact chronic stress has on your mental health 
• What it looks like when burnout leads to nervous system shutdown
• How to spot signs of burnout
• Simple ways to help your nervous system feel safe
• How our inner critic might be fueling burnout 

...and so much more. 

If this conversation speaks to you, if you find yourself nodding along or thinking of a friend who needs to hear it, please share it. Post it to your stories, text it to someone who’s quietly carrying too much, or leave a quick review. It helps more women find these kinds of conversations… and it means the world to me.
