Understanding Stress & Preventing Burnout
Couldn't load pickup availability
Stress can build slowly, especially when you are used to carrying responsibility, meeting expectations and continuing to function even when you feel tired inside.
This structured workbook has been created to help you understand how stress affects the body and mind, recognise early signs of burnout and begin rebuilding a more sustainable relationship with responsibility, productivity, rest and recovery.
The workbook is divided into five phases, helping you move gradually from awareness to reflection, then into practical planning and sustainable balance. Each phase includes calm psychoeducation, reflective prompts and practical worksheets designed to help you better understand your own stress patterns.
