What happens when a psychologist burns out?

Perfectly imperfect psychologist, Shannon Swales, suffered a major burnout at the beginning of 2021, and to help herself heal began a journal recording her path of recovery. Her vividly honest account of what it's like to burn out and what it takes to recover destigmatises mental health issues and provides a practical way forward for others also suffering burnout.

Learn from Shannon's experiences and the practical tools she provides to move away from prioritising care for others, perfectionism, people pleasing, worry, self-criticism, and low self-worth, all precursors for burnout. Discover instead how to make the change to prioritising self, rest and fun, setting boundaries, listening to and respecting your own needs, letting others support you, settling your mind, and dealing with uncertainty; all precursors for good mental health.

Whether you are experiencing burnout or not, reading Psychologist Shannon Swales's journey from burnout to balance will help you understand what it takes to look after your mental health and well-being.

Shannon Swales is a perfectly imperfect clinical psychologist who, in 2021, hit a wall. Suffering from burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and a return of mental health issues that had arisen in her twenties, Shannon set out to heal herself and keep a journal of her progress. This journal became a popular blog and podcast originally called 'Burnout: A Different Kind of GAP Year', now called 'When Burnout Becomes Reality'.Shannon admits to still struggling sometimes and won't pretend to be okay. She is passionate about others living life, and she means living, not surviving; she cries when she sees someone make a breakthrough. She has returned to her career as a psychologist, running group and individual services for people suffering from burnout and other health conditions. Her mission is to destigmatise mental health experiences for fellow psychologists and all people, but more than this, to shine a light on the need for us all to pay attention to our mental health and know how to take care of it.
