Summary

Do you drink a lot and also feel physically and emotionally burned out?    Maybe your life feels unmanageable, work stress is constant, you’re sleeping terribly, tired, empty, unmotivated, overwhelmed or mentally exhausted.   The physical and emotional symptoms of burnout often go hand in hand with alcohol use and abuse, and the signs and symptoms of burnout can mimic those of hangovers and alcohol withdrawal.    Physical symptoms of burnout can include headaches, neck tension, digestive upset and sleep issues and people experiencing burnout may also feel physical and emotional exhaustion, cynicism and detachment, and a feeling of purposelessness.   Drinking alcohol can not only exacerbate burnout but also make it difficult to recognize, treat and heal burnout.    My guest today is Cait Donovan and we’re talking about “Burnout 101”. She’s going to help us identify burnout and understand how to separate it from the effects of drinking and alcohol withdrawal and identify ways to heal and recover.   For full show notes, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/76   Take my FREE TRAINING on 5 Secrets To Successfully Take a Break From Drinking   Join The Sobriety Starter Kit.
