the book
At my lowest point I didn't need theory. I needed someone to sit beside me and say: I know this. I've been through it too.
This book is that someone. Honest, without polish, with all the details that most burnout books leave out.
For everyone whose elastic has been stretched too hard for too long. Because burnout doesn't hit the weak. It hits people who have been strong for too long.
The gradual build-up, the stacking, the breaking point.
The doctor, the shame, the first steps toward recovery.
The patterns, the mask, the connection that heals.
The return to yourself, energy flows where attention goes.
Letting go, jumping, the letter to yourself.
Joulia's own burnout story as a thread throughout the book. Honest, unfiltered, with all the details others leave out.
Each chapter combines the personal story with neurobiological explanation. Based on WHO, Maslach, Freudenberger and the BAT test of KU Leuven.
Reflection questions and writing space per chapter. Plus 12 exercises, a guide for those around you and an intermezzo on the 12 phases of burnout.
“Rock bottom was the beginning.”Joulia De Blieck
