Overview
Burnout is an increasingly prevalent and multifaceted challenge impacting individuals across all professional sectors—from frontline staff to top executives. Clinicians are reporting higher numbers of patients experiencing significant exhaustion, disconnection, and reduced effectiveness at work, yet these patients often do not meet diagnostic criteria for mood or anxiety disorders. This ambiguity complicates case formulation, diagnosis, and effective treatment planning.
This workshop bridges that critical gap by providing you with a clear, structured methodology for assessing and effectively treating burnout. Based on contemporary research and theoretical models, the training delivers practical tools to distinguish burnout from overlapping conditions, identify specific contributing factors—including organizational, cognitive, and emotional influences—and customize interventions suited to each patient's unique profile. Particular emphasis is placed on treatment planning strategies such as appropriate pacing, meaningful goal-setting, and empowering patients to regain purpose, vitality, and a sense of agency in their professional lives.
Participants will gain a robust framework for conceptualizing burnout, a detailed, actionable guide for developing personalized treatment plans, and collaborative strategies for engaging with patients who feel immobilized, hopeless, or resigned. The insights and tools offered in this training apply broadly across various professional contexts and client backgrounds, making it an essential resource in every clinician’s professional toolkit.
