I didn’t realize I was burned out until my body made the decision for me. I kept insisting I was “fine.” I told myself I just needed a couple weeks off, stronger coffee, a different supervisor, maybe a second glass of wine at night to take the edge off. Meanwhile, my brain was dimming like a house with faulty wiring, and my body was throwing up red flags I refused to see.
Burnout doesn’t announce itself. It creeps in quietly. And by the time you notice, you’re already living inside it—or you’re on your couch having a stress-induced stroke, not realizing what’s happening until the next day when half your face won’t move and your left side isn’t responding.
Burnout isn’t just being exhausted or stressed out. It’s a full-body shutdown disguised as “pushing through.” It’s your mind, your nervous system, and your physical health quietly collapsing under demands that were never sustainable.
We like to pretend burnout is a personal failure — like if we’d just been stronger, more organized, more resilient, we could have handled it. But burnout isn’t a lack of grit. It’s a physiological response to chronic stress, unmet needs, toxic systems, and emotional overload. It’s what happens when your life keeps asking you to be superhuman and you keep trying to oblige.
Common Signs of Burnout
Exhaustion: physical, emotional, and mental depletion that rest doesn’t fix.
Cynicism or Detachment: withdrawing, feeling disconnected from work or people, going through the motions.
Reduced Sense of Effectiveness: feeling like nothing you do matters or that you’re failing even when you’re not.
Irritability or Emotional Blunting: snapping over small things, or feeling nothing at all.
Sleep Disruption: insomnia, oversleeping, or restless sleep.
Burnout shows up in ways that are easy to dismiss at first. Maybe you start waking up already tired, no matter how much you sleep. Maybe everything feels heavier than it should — answering emails, making decisions, showing up, being “on.” Your patience gets thinner. Tasks you used to handle without effort now feel impossible. You might feel numb, irritable, detached, or like you’re watching your life from the outside.
Creativity dries up. Joy feels distant. Your body may start chiming in: headaches, muscle tension, chest tightness, gut issues, insomnia. You keep pushing, because that’s what you do—until your brain and body stop negotiating and start shutting things down.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not imagining it. There’s data to back exactly how this happens.
A 2020 study found that work stress and burnout feed into each other, but not equally; burnout actually increases work stress more than work stress increases burnout. In other words, once you’re burned out, nearly everything at work feels harder. The small things feel like big things. The doable becomes overwhelming.
Another study showed that even the commute can be a burnout trigger—the longer, more unpredictable, or more draining the commute, the more stress accumulates before you even walk through the door. It’s not just the job; it’s the entire ecosystem around it.
The body is often the first to call out what the mind refuses to see. My wake-up call was an ischemic stroke. I don’t say that for shock value—just to illustrate how far burnout can push you. Before it gets there, you might…
Be unable to sustain your usual pace—everything takes more energy than it should.
Have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up exhausted anyway.
Notice your body reacting—headaches, nausea, gut issues, tension you can’t stretch away.
Have other physical symptoms show up without a clear medical cause.
How Burnout Changes You (The Part No One Talks About)
Burnout doesn’t just make you tired. It changes who you are while you’re still trying to pretend everything is fine. You start cutting corners on the things that used to matter to you. You stop reaching out. You stop laughing as easily. Your world gets smaller. You become someone who runs on autopilot — doing what needs to be done, exactly how it needs to be done, but without the spark you used to have.
And if you work in a helping profession, you feel guilty about it. You’re supposed to care. You’re supposed to be present. But when you’re burned out, empathy feels expensive. Your emotional bandwidth narrows. You still show up, but the part of you that connects — the part that makes you good at what you do — feels muted. And that loss is its own kind of grief.
Risk Factors for Burnout
Gallup identifies five major factors that significantly increase your risk of burnout:
1. Unfair treatment at work
2. Unmanageable workload
3. Lack of role clarity
4. Lack of communication and support from manager
5. Unreasonable time pressure
Preventing Burnout
Preventing burnout isn’t about quick fixes or productivity hacks. It’s about recognizing your limits and honoring them before your body has to scream. That means setting boundaries you actually keep, not the kind you apologize for. It means learning to say “no” without writing a three-paragraph justification. It means taking breaks before you’re shaking, not after.
It means paying attention to the early signs—the irritability, the brain fog, the losing-your-spark feeling—and treating them as red flags, not personality flaws. And sometimes, prevention looks like stepping back, reevaluating the work you’re doing, and asking whether the life you’re building still fits. Burnout doesn’t happen because you’re weak. It happens because you’ve been strong for too long, without support. The strategy is not to toughen up—it’s to stop carrying everything alone.
Healing Burnout
Healing from burnout isn’t quick, and it isn’t glamorous. In my case, the breaking point was a stroke that hit two days after I was demoted, following my report of unprofessional behavior in management to HR.
It starts with stopping—really stopping—long enough for your nervous system to come down from survival mode. That might mean taking medical leave, switching shifts, asking for help, delegating, or letting some things drop completely. Rest isn’t lazy here; it’s treatment.
Next comes rebuilding capacity: gentle routines, predictable days, moving your body in ways that feel supportive rather than punishing, and slowly reintroducing things that make you feel like yourself again.
You’ll probably have to relearn how to do “nothing” without guilt. You’ll also need to examine the beliefs that drove you past your limits in the first place — the “I have to hold everything together,” or “I can’t disappoint anyone,” or “If I stop, everything falls apart.” Healing burnout means choosing your life, not just enduring it. And yes, it’s possible — even if right now it feels like you’re made of exhaustion.
Practical Strategies for Healing Burnout
Reassess your workload and role. Healing burnout sometimes requires changing the job, the schedule, or the expectations — not just changing your attitude about them.
Prioritize real rest, not collapse. Rest on purpose, before you crash. Short, scheduled pauses during the day do more good than occasional total shutdown.
Simplify wherever you can. Reduce decision fatigue: meal plan, automate bills, declutter your workspace, wear repeat outfits. Less mental load = more recovery.
Set boundaries that are non-negotiable. Choose one boundary to start with (ex: “I stop working at 6,” or “I don’t check email on days off”) and hold it firmly.
Delegate or ask for help. Not because you’re failing — but because humans aren’t meant to do everything alone. Even one small shift makes a difference.
Re-establish basic rhythms. Aim for consistent sleep/wake times, gentle movement (like walks or stretching), and regular meals. Predictability calms the nervous system.
Limit overstimulation. Noise, screens, constant notifications, and multitasking all drain energy. Turn off what you can. Single-task whenever possible.
Check in with your body. Notice tension, headaches, stomach issues, shakiness, zoning out. Don’t push through — treat these as signals, not inconveniences.
Reintroduce one thing that brings you joy. Not a whole hobby. Not a lifestyle overhaul. Just one small spark: reading 10 minutes, music that moves you, stepping outside, journaling.
Conclusion
You deserve a life that doesn’t require your body to break in order to get your attention. Burnout is not a personal failure; it’s a signal. A boundary crossed. A story of overcapacity and overcare colliding. If you’re reading this and recognizing yourself, take it seriously — not with panic, but with clarity.
Your body is asking for relief, not punishment. Your life is asking for space, not endurance. You don’t have to earn rest. You don’t have to prove your worth by suffering. You get to choose a different way forward — slowly, gently, piece by piece. And you’re allowed to start now.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was designed for people who feel things intensely and don’t have great models for coping with those feelings. If that’s you, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. There are excellent DBT resources out there, and many of them are free. The challenge is just knowing where to look.
The skills in DBT are learnable. They take practice. They take repetition. But they’re doable. And they work.
Let’s get into it.

Start by watching the videos in order—pause after each question to think through your answer, then hit play to check your reasoning. Once you’ve finished both videos, test yourself with the interactive multiple-choice quiz to lock in what you learned.
This post focuses on research design and professional ethics—two domains that show up frequently on the NCE and can easily trip you up if you’re only memorizing definitions instead of understanding the logic behind them.
By the end, you should be able to:
Distinguish between research designs and sampling methods
Identify when to use descriptive vs. experimental methods
Recognize ethical responsibilities and boundaries in counseling practice
Apply ethical decision-making to real exam-style scenarios
Take your time. Think it through. And remember: learning how to reason through a question is more valuable than just getting it right.
Understanding Prolonged Grief Disorder in Clinical Practice
Grief is a universal human experience. Most of us, at some point, will lose someone we love—and the emotional pain that follows is not something to “fix,” pathologize, or rush. But there are times when grief doesn’t soften. It doesn’t shift. It doesn’t make room for life again. Instead, it remains intense, consuming, and disruptive long after the loss.
This isn’t “just grief.” It’s not weakness. It’s not resistance. It’s not a failure to cope.
It may be Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD)—a clinical condition recognized in the DSM-5-TR, characterized by sustained longing, identity disruption, and functional impairment that doesn’t resolve with time alone.
As clinicians, we need to know how to distinguish adaptive grief from clinically significant prolonged grief, without rushing to diagnose, minimize, or invalidate. That requires clarity, competence, and respect for cultural and individual mourning practices.
To support that work, I’ve created a 10-module clinical training on Prolonged Grief Disorder designed for counselors, social workers, psychologists, bereavement specialists, and anyone providing grief-informed care. The training is evidence-based, clinically practical, and grounded in trauma-informed, person-centered practice.
You’ll learn how to:
Recognize the clinical presentation of PGD
Differentiate PGD from depression and PTSD
Conduct appropriate assessment and screening
Understand risk patterns and diagnostic nuance
Apply core treatment approaches supported by research
The aim is simple: No pathologizing grief. No guessing in diagnosis. No forcing closure. Just clear, competent, compassionate clinical care.
Grief doesn’t follow rules, and prolonged grief disorder is more than “taking too long to move on.” This training cuts through the confusion.
We’ll break down the core symptoms, explore what makes grief become prolonged, and walk step-by-step through how Prolonged Grief Treatment approaches healing. If you work with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected after a loss, this training gives you practical tools you can start using right away.

What does it mean to truly thrive? Flourishing goes beyond just getting by—it’s about rewiring your brain for growth, resilience, and fulfillment. Discover how positive psychology and neuroplasticity can help you build a thriving life.
Neuroplasticity & Recovery: The brain has the ability to rewire itself—at any age or health status—meaning growth and change are always possible.
Flourishing & Positive Psychology: Martin Seligman’s PERMA model defines wellbeing through Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Achievement.
Your Brain on Flourishing: Research shows flourishing changes the brain, enhancing life satisfaction, self-esteem, and motivation.
Practical Steps to Flourish:
Gratitude practice
Daily reflection
Identify & use strengths
Final Takeaway:Healing, growth, and thriving are possible—and they start today, not someday in the future
After having a stroke at 42 as a relatively healthy adult with minimal risk factors and spending three weeks in the hospital and then inpatient physical rehab, I’m not taking life for granted. And I’m not going to wait until I retire to do all the things I’ve been wanting to do. Tomorrow isn’t promised. And I want to spend the rest of my life not just existing but flourishing.
The stroke was a profound shock to me and everyone in my life; I maintain a healthy weight, I don’t smoke, and I have no family history of stroke. (I’m even plant-based!) It came out of nowhere.
Fortunately, the damage was minimal: I experience some balance issues and short-term memory impairment, but fundamentally, I’m still the person I was before. I know that some stroke survivors undergo significant personality changes, depending on which part of the brain is most affected. This post has become deeply personal, leading me to research the brain’s capacity to rewire itself—a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. Through this, I’m learning how to potentially repair neural pathways or create new ones as I recover.
Research indicates that even individuals with mental illness and substance use, including those with chronic or reoccurring disorders, can fully recover and reach high levels of wellbeing (e.g., flourishing) (Keyes et al., 2022).
Neuroplasticity & Flourishing
“Neuroplasticity can be viewed as a general umbrella term that refers to the brain’s ability to modify, change, and adapt both structure and function throughout life and in response to experience” (Voss, et al., 2017)
Reseeardh indicates that neuroplasticity is possible in brains young and old, as well as brains healthy and diseased (Voss, et al., 2017). So there’s hope for everyone, no matter your age or your physical/mental health.
Understanding the brain’s ability to rewire itself naturally leads to the question: What does it mean to truly thrive? This is where the concept of flourishing comes in.
Flourishing & Positive Psychology
Maslow originally coined the term positive psychology in the 1950s, and the movement gained momentum as psychologists sought alternatives to outdated treatment modalities. Around the same time, humanistic psychology emerged, with Maslow arguing that psychology’s focus on disorder and dysfunction overlooked human potential.
Martin Seligman, a co-founder of positive psychology, became a leading figure in the movement during the 1990s (Nash, 2015). His work centered on authentic happiness, which he defined as a fulfillment achieved not by pursuing momentary pleasures but by making intentional choices that bring meaning to life. According to Seligman (2011), authentic happiness consists of three key elements: positive emotion, engagement (flow)—using one’s highest strengths and talents to meet the world—and meaning—”belonging to and serving something greater than oneself” (p. 11, p. 17).
As Seligman worked to conceptualize wellbeing, he determined that it was comprised of fourth element: accomplishment as in “accomplishment for the sake of accomplishment” (p. 19). As he further developed the construct of wellbeing, he observed that wellbeing has five measurable elements, and introduced the concept of PERMA:
Positive emotion
Engagement
Relationships
Meaning
Acheivement
He observed that “No one element defines wellbeing but each contributes to it” (Seligman, 2017, p.24). Eventually, Seligman concluded that the goal of positive psychology within wellbeing theory is “to measure and to build human flourishing” (Seligman, 2011, p. 29) He suggested several practical exercises for flourishing:
Practice gratitude by expressing it in an intentional and thoughtful way.
Focus on the positive. “Every night for the next week, set aside 10 minutes before you go to sleep. Write down three things that went well today and why they went well” (Seligman, 2011, p. 33). Be sure to stick with it for the entire week.
Identify and use your signature strengths. Start by discovering your signature strengths by taking the free VIA Strengths of Character Survey here: Questionnaire Center | Authentic Happiness. (The assessment is interactive and self-scoring. Registration required.) Examine your top five strengths and determine whether each is a signature strength. Once you’ve determined your signature strengths, carve out a time in your weekly schedule to exercise one or more of these strengths in a new way and then reflect on it through writing. Seligman suggested answering the following questions: “How did you feel before, during, and after engaging in the activity? Was the activity challenging? Easy? Did you lose your sense of self-consciousness? Do you plan to repeat the exercise?” (Seligman, 2011, pp. 39-40).
Seligman observed that the exercises were effective even in depressed individuals.
To measure your current level of flourishing, take the short assessment below.

Advancements in brain imaging technology have demonstrated that talk therapy induces measurable physical changes in the brain, including alterations in both neural activity and structural connectivity (American Psychiatric Association, 2020). Research further suggests that flourishing in life is associated with brain changes such as increased activity in specific regions and enhanced connectivity between hemispheres (Goldbeck et al., 2019).
Expanding on this, Waugh (2022) found that brain areas linked to life satisfaction, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, and goal progress exhibit differences in structure and neural functioning in individuals who experience higher levels of flourishing. Additionally, positive emotions activate key regions of the prefrontal cortex and limbic system, which enhance cognition, behavior, and motivation. This neural activation fosters better decision-making and supports healthier lifestyle choices, ultimately contributing to improved physical wellbeing (Kandel, 2013).
This journey has taught me that flourishing isn’t about waiting for the perfect conditions—it’s about making intentional choices today. The brain is adaptable, healing is possible, and wellbeing is within reach. Neuroplasticity shows that our brains can rewire and grow, no matter our circumstances. Positive psychology teaches that thriving isn’t about chasing fleeting pleasure, but about cultivating meaning, engagement, and accomplishment. Science confirms that our thoughts, actions, and experiences can reshape the brain, reinforcing wellbeing. I’m not waiting until retirement to do the things I’ve always wanted to do—because tomorrow isn’t promised, but flourishing starts now.
