Ever felt like you're just dragging through your workday with no energy left? You're not alone. In this episode of the Practitioner Health Wellbeing Podcast, Dr Lisa Tyrer joins hosts Zaid, Ruth, and Simon to shed light on the often misunderstood concept of burnout. Burnout is more than just feeling stressed – it's a chronic condition resulting from prolonged workplace stress that hasn't been managed properly.
Dr Tyrer shares her personal journey from being a GP to experiencing severe burnout and retraining as a therapist to help others facing the same struggles. Her story is both eye-opening and relatable for anyone who has felt overwhelmed by their job. The episode dives into what burnout actually is, its symptoms, and how it differs from just having a bad day.
With statistics showing that nearly a third of NHS staff feel burnt out, it's clear this is a widespread issue. The hosts discuss the physical and emotional toll burnout takes, including feelings of exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy. They also highlight the importance of recognising early warning signs like constant fatigue, lack of enjoyment in work or life, and a sense of numbness. Dr Tyrer and the hosts provide practical advice on how to prevent and manage burnout.
They emphasise the importance of recovery time, setting boundaries, and seeking support from colleagues or professionals. The discussion is filled with empathy and practical tips, making it a must-listen for healthcare workers and anyone dealing with chronic stress. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed and wondering how to cope, this episode offers valuable insights and strategies to help you take control of your wellbeing.
Remember, you're not alone in this – there's help available, and taking the first step towards recovery can make all the difference.
