- 2. 12 STAGES OF BURNOUT What it means to burnout There’s no clear cut definition of what burnout is but the term first appeared in the 1970s from the psychologist Herbert Freudenberger. Freudgenberger and his colleague Gail North identified 12 stages that lead up to burnout These twelve stages don’t necessarily have to happen in order. Some people experience them all, others only experience some of them. The physiological symptoms of burnout are caused by our fight or flight response. Whether we like it or not, this response can be triggered by common work stressors (like trying to meet deadlines or finish projects). 2Marie Tolman 2016

Editor's Notes
- The physiological symptoms of burnout are caused by our fight or flight response. Whether we like it or not, this response can be triggered by common work stressors (like trying to meet deadlines or finish projects). • Adrenal gland secretes cortisol hormone • Heartbeat speeds up • Blood pressure rises Burnout occurs when the demands and stress placed on us exceed our physical and mental abilities to deal with them. We cheat ourselves out of the rest we need because we assume we can push past our breaking points. The bad news is, this is happening more frequently. Forbes reports that since the economic downturn, many employers have cut resources—though you probably didn’t need anyone to tell you that. The reduction of resources, and stagnant pay, has coincided with an increase in tasks and responsibilities. Employees feel an intense obligation to never say no. Prior to my burnout, I said yes to everything. There was nothing I couldn’t do, nothing I wouldn’t do for quest to save the world. If I’m being honest with myself, what it all came down to was me not wanting to give anyone else the opportunity to say yes, and to try prove to doubter that I was capable.
