Overcoming Burnout with Chris Germer, PhD

Burnout and stress continue to create tremendous challenges at home and on the job, so this week, we’re looking at how we can reclaim our joy and energy. Join host Paula Felps as she talks with clinical psychologist Chris Germer who, along with researcher Dr. Kristin Neff, developed the world-renowned Mindful Self-compassion program. Their third co-authored book, Mindful Self-Compassion for Burnout, looks at how self-compassion can help overcome burnout and offers simple anti-burnout tools to de-stress, recharge, and develop your inner kindness.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What self-compassion is and why it’s so important to practice.
  • Why burnout is so prevalent these days — and what’s causing it.
  • How self-compassion can help alleviate burnout.
