  Takeaways:

• Grief and loss can deeply impact and change us, and it is important to reflect on these experiences and their cumulative effects on our outlook on life.
• Psychologists and mental health professionals are also human and experience their own ups and downs, and it is important to practice self-care and use the tools and techniques we recommend to our clients.
• Breaking down stigma and normalizing conversations about mental health is crucial in order to reach and help more people who may not seek professional help.
• Burnout is a combination of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual exhaustion, and recognizing the symptoms is the first step in managing and preventing it.
• Setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care are essential for maintaining mental health and preventing burnout.
• Designing a healthy life after burnout involves reflecting on what is truly important to us and incorporating healthy rituals and practices into our daily lives.
• Authenticity and shared wisdom are powerful tools in the mental health space, as they create connections and provide valuable insights and support.
