In this episode, our experts, Alan Dovey & Dr Nirvana Kudlur, unpack what burnout really is, why it’s becoming increasingly common, and how cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can play a role in recovery. From workplace stress and emotional exhaustion to the pressures of modern life, we explore the signs people often overlook — and why burnout is more than simply feeling “tired” or overwhelmed.
We also take a closer look at how CBT works in practice, the evidence behind it, and the practical techniques that can help people better manage stress, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and regain balance in their daily lives.
Along the way, we tackle some of the common misconceptions surrounding burnout, therapy and mental wellbeing, while offering clear, accessible guidance for anyone who may be struggling — or supporting someone who is.
Whether you’re feeling mentally drained, curious about CBT, or looking for ways to better manage burnout or unhelpful thinking patterns, this episode offers thoughtful insight and practical advice to help you navigate burnout more effectively.
