Burnout Warning System-Therapist Edition

THE BRAIN-BASED BURNOUT WARNING SYSTEM

Therapist Practice Edition

✨ Created by MindContinuum by Dr. David MacIntyre Consulting

Help clients recognize the early brain-and-body signals of chronic stress and burnout—and give them a practical method for responding before exhaustion becomes overwhelming.

Burnout often develops through repeated demand without enough recovery. Earlier signals create more options. Waiting until complete depletion can make recovery slower and meaningful choices harder to access.

This professionally designed, three-page digital resource translates brain-based concepts into accessible language and practical exercises. Use it during therapy sessions or provide it to clients for continued reflection and recovery planning.

✅ WHAT’S INCLUDED

🧠 A client-friendly explanation of the brain-and-body patterns associated with burnout

⚠️ A three-stage guide for recognizing early, building, and critical warning signals

🌿 The practical four-step REST method

📝 A reusable Personal Burnout Warning Map worksheet

💡 Questions that support reflection and clinical integration

❤️ A personalized plan for limits, recovery, support, and sustainable action

🔐 A therapist practice license for use with individual clients

📥 Immediate PDF access following purchase
