Burnout – Abbey of the Arts

I can definitely attest to this…

“If significant enough, burnout can be a form of trauma… which produces actual physiological changes, including a recalibration of the brain’s alarm system, and an increase in stress hormone activity, and alterations in the system that filters relevant information from the irrelevant . . . To experience burnout is to harm your mind and body in serious ways.”
