About Episode


In this episode, I share updated evidence-based information on burnout and the recovery and prevention of it with a blend of lived experiences from myself and past guests to give awareness and hope to move beyond burnout. You will also get a chance to be guided through a few psychological practices to assist you in making a start on responding, preventing and growing from burnout.


About the Host/Guest


My name is Shannon Swales, and I am a perfectly imperfect Clinical Psychologist. I am passionate about supporting others with the mental health knowledge and skills to thrive in this life, to move from chronically stressed, burnt-out states to one of wellness. My Telehealth practice, Burnout Psychology Support, is a therapeutic space for anyone who feels overwhelmed, lost, alone, trapped and absolutely exhausted every single minute of every single day and looking for support to find a way out, a path through the chronic stress brought about by their work or caregiving responsibilities. A state I know all too well after burning out in February 2021, costing me my ability to work and forcing me to move from caring for others to caring for myself. A move that has helped me to the place of wellness I am at today, with the ability to move back to the career I was trained for, caring for others in a more balanced way.


My qualifications…


I am a clinical psychologist registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) - BSc (Psych) (Hons) MClinPsych MAPS. My principal psychological approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also incorporate other evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Above all else, I strive to create and maintain a safe, supportive and secure environment for people to heal in a way that feels right for them.

From The Podcast

When Burnout Becomes Reality

About the PodcastWhen Burnout Becomes Reality is a podcast that combines lived experience with the science of burnout to help listeners prevent, recover & grow from burnout. I am your host, Shannon Swales, a psychologist, blogger, author, & a human with lived experience, scientific knowledge, & skills on burnout. Burnout is a phenomenon that develops slowly in an individual in response to ongoing & unrelenting workplace interpersonal stressors. Social Psychologist Christina Maslach and Human Resource Management Professor & Researcher Susan E. Jackson identified a set of symptoms & signs of burnout that is mainly accepted today. They are emotional exhaustion, cynicism/depersonalisation towards one's work, & a decrease in one's belief one can do their job or a reduced sense of personal achievement with one's work. Burnout can occur in any field, particularly those working closely with vulnerable people. It appears not only in workplaces but also within parenting, carer, volunteering, & caring for self roles in chronic & ongoing health conditions that require ongoing management.Development of the PodcastI started this POD out of my own burnout experience. I noticed how great it felt to hear others were suffering from burnout too - it helped me feel less alone. It helped me to feel understood & unbeknownst to them; it helped me learn from the wisdom they had gained to help me recover & grow from burnout. This is why I continue to showcase lived experience guests on the POD. As I healed from burnout, I moved back into my work as a psychologist, & that is when I added the scientific knowledge aspect into the POD, having expert guests share their wisdom to help others. I am incredibly proud of this POD & enjoy every minute of producing it. It is a monthly podcast with an episode released on the first Thursday of every month. Each month will showcase a lived experience guest who courageously comes on the POD to share their raw account of burnout to recovery and beyond or an expert guest who shares their knowledge & skills in burnout. All hope to assist others in preventing, responding & growing from burnout. The only way this podcast will reach the four corners of this earth, to reach people in need is through the power of the people - you.
