  1. Hi, I'm Daniel.
  2. Zinc and counseling at the Greenhouse.
  3. I am here to talk to my educators today about
  4. burnout. What is it?
  5. Do you have it?
  6. And how can I help?
  7. So let's burn out.
  8. Burnout is caused by extreme and prolonged occupational stress.
  9. A big surprise.
  10. Teachers have had a lot of that this year.
  11. Burnouts. His symptoms include negativity, cynicism, physical exhaustion, mental and
  12. emotional exhaustion, depression, difficulty sleeping.
  13. Having small things irritate you that wouldn't have irritated you
  14. in the past.
  15. Feeling ineffective at your job.
  16. And those are just some of the symptoms.
  17. Educators. I don't know that I have to say it,
  18. but teachers are particularly vulnerable this year because of covid
  19. virtual school, Our own Children.
  20. Um, dealing with all of the stress put on us
  21. by legislators and the expectations from parents, students, administrators as
  22. to what what we are doing with nothing else taken
  23. off the plate.
  24. Um, So I want you to think through some of
  25. those symptoms and just think, Are you experiencing any symptoms
  26. of burnout?
  27. So how can I help if you are?
  28. I am an educator myself, with over 12 years experience
  29. working in schools.
  30. I have been in the middle school English teacher, middle
  31. school counselor and high school counselor.
  32. So I understand what the environment is like and what
  33. the pressures are.
  34. What I know is that burnout is neuro biological.
  35. It is based in the brain.
  36. It affects our bodies in a physical way.
  37. It is not just an emotional response.
  38. That is why I think something like brain spotting, which
  39. is a neuro biological therapy I offer, is a good
  40. way to address Burnham.
  41. It can help target the source of the emotion and
  42. the stress, the memories to help you regulate yourself and
  43. to feel better.
  44. I would love to work with all of my educators
  45. to help you cope with what you're dealing with and
  46. help resolve some of these symptoms of burnout.
  47. Feel free to text me anytime to schedule, or I
  48. am happy to have a phone call to talk about
  49. if this would be a good fit for you.
  50. I have Friday evening and Saturday availability, and I look
  51. forward to hearing from you.
  52. Take care
