Can you reach Burnout more than once is a question I get asked a lot.

It's often also the biggest fear of the clients I work with through one to one coaching, reaching Burnout again.

And yes, you can reach Burnout more than once.

Many people live in the Burnout cycle, not quite reaching the point of full blown Burnout, and some keep repeating the crash and burn Burnout cycle over and over again.

So how can it happen again?

Why does the cycle often repeat itself?

And quite frankly, why don't people just learn their lesson?

I am a repeat offender.  My first Burnout made me seriously ill.  My second almost killed me.  And still I I know that I could reach Burnout again.

My biggest fear is that I wouldn't be able to survive Burnout number three.  And this fear in itself isn't really helpful, because at times I hold myself back, and in holding back I add to my stress even more, and then, thanks to the Bipolar that my Burnout caused, I can quickly spiral into a pretty dark or manic place.

For these reasons alone, I do NOT recommend Burnout to anyone.

It is not a trendy badge to wear.

It is not a sign of success.

It doesn't mean you're amazing, or a superstar, and it doesn't mean you're incredible at your job.

Even though most of the time it's the over-achieving, engaged, committed and passionate perfectionists who reach Burnout. READ MORE
