How do I know when it tips into this idea of burnout?

Unless we get a little bit more creative with the couch.

Yeah, it's not happening.

Yeah, I want to get to the definition and then we're going to get to some solutions.

So you described kind of an autopilot mode at work.

I'm coming home.

I'm not reconnecting with the people that I love.

Are there any other signs I should look out for?

And this was your first year practicing as a psychologist?

And what I'm feeling that story and what I'm in touch with is that you have made such an extraordinary contribution to the world.

Like the cost of leaving you in that state is a high cost for you and it's a high cost for the rest of us.

Have you tried to quantify this at all?

Like the kind of the stakes of this phenomenon for the world?

When this subject traditionally comes up, we are quick to blame systems and organizations and the leaders of those systems.

One thing I love about your message is you are also pointing out that we have a tremendous amount of personal agency too.

So with the power and agency I do have, what is my first move?

If I suspect I might be in the state that you're describing, coach me through it.

What's my first step?

How do I think about pulling myself out of this?

Is that because we're in that autopilot state where we're not making good decisions?
