I was surprised when I learnt,
That burnout has roots in childhood.
Parenting style and rules we inherited from our caretakers
Are like a programme that runs in our lives and
Determine the way we work!
If someone comes to my practice:
Exhausted, anxious and overwhelmed from work
Looking for the next job even if they have just changed the company
Questioning their profession or industry
Losing motivation, confidence, passion, creativity and potential
~ All signs of burnout
They are also surprised to identify the causes of their burnout in early childhood.
Eventually, that leads them to:
1. Challenging the rules inherited in childhood.
2. Releasing the rules that don’t work in their adult life.
3. Creating new rules that serve and support their career and wellbeing.
The inner work - the one we are often so afraid of - becomes the way to
True FREEDOM from burnout
To AGENCY and CONTROL in career
And that has a ripple effect on other areas of life :)
P.S. It’s not about starting to blame our parents!
It’s about identifying and challenging the rules we have learnt in the past that don’t work in our adult life
but keep us in the burnout cycle.
