Burnout doesn't always look like a breakdown. Sometimes it looks like pushing through, feeling numb, forgetting who you are, or wondering why everything suddenly feels so much harder.I'm joined by Dr Jo Perkins, an eminent Chartered Psychologist who supports senior business professionals and organisations to develop effective strategies to optimise psychological performance. Dr Jo explains how burnout develops, why so many people miss the warning signs, and why it can hit people with ADHD especially hard.Together, we explore the difference between being tired and having a nervous system that can no longer recover, the hidden role of masking, and what real recovery actually looks like.If you've ever thought, "I'm just exhausted," but suspect it's something more, this conversation could change the way you understand burnout.Chapters:Visit Jo’s website 👉 https://drjoperkins.comFind Jo on LinkedIn 👉 https://uk.linkedin.com/in/dr-jo-perkins-46b943Get 30% off an annual Tiimo subscription 👉 https://www.tiimoapp.com/offers/adhdchatterBuy Alex's book entitled 'Now It All Makes Sense' 👉 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Now-All-Makes-Sense-Diagnosis/dp/1399817817Order Alex’s book about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria 👉 https://linktr.ee/adhdchatter?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=9ffd8709-06df-444c-9936-c136fbd14d6eProducer: Timon Woodward Recorded by: Hamlin StudiosTrailer editor: Ryan FaberDISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
