If we just keep on going in a frenzied state of busyness, our nervous system eventually gets overwhelmed and we experience a trauma response. This changes how we think, feel and behave, making it difficult for us to carry out tasks or practise self-care strategies like mindfulness. We lose motivation and interest in things we used to enjoy and become trapped in a state known as learned helplessness, unable to see solutions, sometimes unable to care. We still operate, but in autopilot mode, prone to making mistakes and to toxic behaviour that impacts our professional and personal relationships. Based on polyvagal theory and her professional insights as a trauma therapist working with clients experiencing burnout, Dr Claire Plumbly analyses this topic.
