Damn so thats what I experienced🤔 burnout when I was in nursing. The dread of going to work the high anxiety every shift was so overwhelming. Makes sense why I had a MS relapse then
No happiness with model cars anymore... The saddest thing is that when I used to build model cars and I built one and it came out well. I felt so happy and I had a great sense of accomplishment.. so that great feeling is long gone . Sad 😭...
It is almost as if you are talking me out of my trauma of burnout. I feel you are talking about me. The trauma is like a haze over me and I see a bit of how it can be lifted and is lifting as you talk. I am beginning to see it as a "residue" of memory of complete and utter non-care for me while extreme pressure is put on me that I could not perform adequately. They called me "overly conscientious" when I showed the stress response as a teen. Thank you for being almost "psychic" about what the problem is and then it is like just mentioning it makes it go away. This, I need to be clear, is an ongoing process of identification with what you are talking about. "Care" is an important concept for me. I gave care (forced beyond my control), but I never got it... (like Cinderella). That I can care for myself or even that I need it is almost a matter of being shown how by a bit of modeling of it. I missed the part in early life where someone cares about and for me.... I don't know how to do it at all. It's like I am missing a part of my identity that would be there because of caring. But you give me glimpses of it. Bless you! It seems that when people tell you to do something for yourself, they are demonstrating that "strange" thing called caring.
I got my cptsd from doctors_ waking up in surgery, no walker so I fell and now can't walk, cracked my ribs taking lung biopsy, gave me apixican ( I'm 83) so bleed out, needed 4 pints of blood after a month it's a slow bleed. Put me on gabapentin so I would regress to childhood and only speak German my childhood language. I don't think health care professionals are conscious most of the time_ they are burned out and abusing people in their care-
Unfortunately it's the way of how the modern day work force operates....I am so burned out and suffer from the areas for which you mentioned in this video.
Wow… so, I went through a traumatic event a few years ago which completely disrupted my life. I have worked hard and rebuilt, but it hasn’t been easy with lockdowns and global financial crises to contend with. Anyway, I have been describing feeling like my nervous system was disordered but not my psychology. By this I mean I felt physical symptoms of stress but I could understand it as my perspective on life has improved so much. I had been considering (whilst on a waiting list for some more therapy) that is was linked to my ptsd, but I hadn’t linked it to burn out. I have been pushing myself a lot and still have some tough challenges to deal with in life; burn out makes complete sense of how I feel and why it seems to be affecting my body rather than my psychology (which is what’s caused my confusion right now). I never knew (although it makes complete sense) that as a trauma survivor I may be more susceptible to burn out. Whoop! Today’s a good day
I am so grateful to be of help and I appreciate you watching the video. I am sorry you’ve experienced trauma. What did you find most useful from the video?
@@DocSnipes hi, thanks for the response. I’m what you might call an analytical thinker, so cognitive analytical therapy worked really well for me. As such, I value understanding what’s going on and work well with your infographics. First aha moment was the increased susceptibility to burnout. I suddenly realised that what I was attributing to residual effects of trauma may actually be burn out. This initial insight was then built upon with the separation of symptoms into list. This helped me realise that there was a level of acceptance I still hadn’t reached, and that was that I need to accept I may burnout quicker and to re-engage with some of those stress relieving practises. There’s some dodgy info out on TH-cam for us in the traumatised community; you video raised no ‘red flags’ for me, was highly informative and beneficial in this step I am currently taking. Thank you.
Interesting, HPA axis on to long. HPA axis was 1 of the things I thought my symptoms were coming from. After 3 years diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Mtbi with brain bleed and concussion. Never recovered, felt like it worse over the 5 years. Thank you for your great discussions/study.
You’re so welcome. I am sorry you are struggling with fibromyalgia. Here are the videos on the HPA axis : th-cam.com/users/DocSnipessearch?query=HPA and the ones on releasing trauma: th-cam.com/users/DocSnipessearch?query=Releasing%20trauma
@Doc Snipes Thanks, have seen all your HPA axis 1s and most of the trauma. Only struggle because I was an active person for an introvert, and I have a high conscientious score. Definitely rest when needed.
You’re so welcome. Thanks for watching the video. What did you find most useful from it? Other videos you might be interested in can be found at th-cam.com/users/DocSnipessearch?query=trauma
I lost my boyfriend in a mass shooting. Living in United States shooting is so common and is my trigger. How can I prevent getting triggered every time it happens? I tried to put my trauma into positive action and helped other people like me, I tried to help regulate gun ownership and gun laws and universal background checks. I have been to therapy. Please I am open to any new suggestions but meditation. I practice breathing, talking to friends, music and art therapy to switch my focus from this repetitive catastrophe in the States.
I'm truly sorry to hear about your loss. It's understandable that news of mass shootings can trigger painful memories. Here are some strategies that might help you cope: 1. Develop a Safety Plan: It's important to feel safe in your environment. When you hear about a mass shooting, it can trigger feelings of insecurity. Try to identify what you can do to feel safe in your home, at work, or while traveling. 2. Mindfulness: Mindfulness can be a powerful tool in managing triggers. When you start to feel overwhelmed by memories or emotions, try to focus on the present moment. Ask yourself, "Am I safe in the present moment? What is the likelihood that the same thing is going to happen again?" This can help you separate past trauma from your current reality. 3. Control and Challenge: Identify what aspects of the situation are within your control. This can help you feel more empowered and less overwhelmed. View the situation as a challenge rather than a problem. For example, if hearing about a mass shooting triggers you, consider it a challenge to manage your reaction and find ways to cope. 4. Connection: Isolation can exacerbate feelings of trauma. Try to connect with others, even if it's virtually. Speaking with friends or family, or joining a support group, can provide comfort and reduce feelings of isolation. 5. Seek Professional Help: If your triggers are significantly impacting your life, it may be beneficial to seek professional help. A therapist or counselor can provide you with strategies to manage your triggers and help you process your trauma. Remember, it's normal to feel overwhelmed by triggers after experiencing a traumatic event. It's important to be patient with yourself and seek help when needed.

In Acts 8:1 and 9:1, we read that Saul (later Paul) consented to the death of Stephen, the first church martyr, and the persecution and slaughter of others. I wonder after his conversion what types of trauma symptoms he may have had remembering all the people he had put to death. The movie Paul the Apostle of Christ did a good job of depicting what may have happened such as nightmares and intrusive thoughts.

How on earth are stay at home parents excluded from having burnout? How on earth is anyone excluded from a diagnosis based on occupation if they have all the symptoms? Look at the work-related contributors, excessive workload, emotionally draining, high risk, lack of support, lack of resources, lack of rewards, unclear, ever-changing requirements, severe consequences of mistakes, work/life (rest) imbalance, poor work/person fit, frequent schedule changes… uuummm, hello?! Look at the PACER contibutors.. sleep disruption much? You say at some point early in the video that being a stay at home parent is a job, but that’s it, a brief acknowledgment with no teeth. Students are included, carers are included. Why the heck are parents excluded?
I think she includes that as a job. She herself was a stay-at-home homeschooling mom, for a while...so I truly believe she counts stay at home parents as a job. To your comment, I hear you. I'm also currently a stay at home parent. I am burned out beyond words, many days. Additionally, I have a lot of trauma history. It can be hard, lonely, exhausting. I hope you are able to get some relief. You matter, your job is exquisitely important. I wish for you healing and peace too.
@@Alphacentauri819 Thank you Alpha Centauri, I appreciate your kindness. Early in the video she made a point of saying that stay at home parents are excluded from the diagnosis, while acknowledging that parenting is a job. It’s not just her excluding it, it’s the DSM. I’m not currently a stay at home mum, but I have been, and I know how extremely challenging it is. It fits so many of the criteria in terms of contributing factors, it seems odd, if not completely discriminatory for parenting to be excluded. I got through that part of my life, not without harm but ok, but so many do not. Women particularly. We are dismissed for things that others are able to get help for. It just doesn’t seem right to me for this demographic to be excluded from being diagnosed with burnout, when it seems, very understandably, prevalent among this population, and I wonder how that’s still possible in 2023
@@Alphacentauri819 oh that’s a lot to go through, I’m so sorry you’ve had such a hard time. I hope it gets easier over time. We’ve had some struggles too, which get a bit complicated, but I’m now a carer to my son, so apparently included in the ‘worker’ category, and have multiple health problems myself and a bunch of trauma.. but that does lead me to another point about parenting, in that there can be a lot of trauma involved as well, anxiety and grief, loss of identity, shock even at the extreme change of circumstances and burden of work involved. Even the positive emotions can be of an intensity we may never have felt before.. It can be an overwhelming experience just transitioning from individual human, to parent, without adding in life threatening (either to self or child or both) situations such as you experienced. Let’s face it, parenting is a massive endeavour. There should definitely be more support, I agree. Parents burn out. They do. It should count
I've decided I'm burnt out on my model car hobby... I'm really sad 😭 about it but I know that model car building is no longer enjoyable and it does no favors for my blood pressure...
Model Car Building is not an ideal hobby for a Traumatic Brain Injury survivor like myself .. Does anyone have any ideas for hobbies for a Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor like myself that I might get Burny out at??
Your content is amazing but the pitch, pace, and projection of your voice is like you are talking to someone in the back of the room, and will hurt people. The mic is right next to your mouth, resulting in a lot of hard plosives to begin with but you also push further into them as a form of emphasis. Try it at a skaka distance, at the same angle. Individual people listen to your videos. I think it would take less of your energy to think of it as like you are talking to one person who can hear you very well at normal conversational levels.
