Key takeaways

• Being busy or stressed is not the same as being successful or healthy Society often mixes these up
• Burnout usually sneaks up slowly Small repeated trades in self care for work lead to long term problems
• We get hooked on stress & adrenaline, similar to an addiction, especially when we link it to our identity
• Ignoring recovery leads to lower creativity & productivity Recovery is as important as hard work for true performance
• Chronic stress causes changes in the brain like thinning of the prefrontal cortex & shrinking hippocampus which harms memory & decision making
• Changes like more coffee, poor eating, snapping at loved ones, & losing motivation are early symptoms of burnout
• Our work, stresses, & environment lead to misdiagnosed issues like depression when the real issue is burnout
• Work is as addictive as drugs, causing harmful behavior patterns & hurting relationships if left unchecked
• The subconscious mind carries stories & beliefs from childhood that shape our habits—even sabotaging sleep & health
• Clinical hypnotherapy helps access & change subconscious patterns, enabling lasting recovery from burnout & related issues
