Are you a teacher, nurse, therapist, police office, pastor or a profession that requires you to take care of others? Do you drag yourself to work and have trouble getting your day started at work? Have you become irritable or impatient with co-workers, customers or clients? Do you lack the energy to be consistently productive? Do you find it hard to concentrate? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be experiencing burnout. This week, Kea is joined by therapist Amber Lane who discusses burnout among therapist and other helping professionals. She shares how to identify burnout and practice self care regularly.
