Burnout prevention isn’t only about reducing deman

Burnout prevention isn’t only about reducing demands.

What people have available to meet those demands matters too.

Under the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) framework, job resources can help people meet demands, support motivation and make work more sustainable.

Those resources can take different forms: clarity about what is expected, realistic goals, supportive colleagues and leadership, adequate staffing and tools, opportunities to develop, and understanding how your work contributes to something larger.

But resources don’t give an organisation permission to leave excessive demands untouched.

Offering “more support” while leaving an impossible workload unchanged isn't enough. And expecting people to compensate indefinitely for understaffing, missing resources or conflicting expectations isn't resilience.

Sustainable work requires looking at both sides:
What is repeatedly costing people energy?
What do they actually have available to meet those demands?
Trying to understand the balance between the demands of your job and the resources available to you?

Send me “BURNOUT” or click the link in my bio to book a session.
Let’s map your situation properly.

Does every difficult conversation need to happen s

Does every difficult conversation need to happen sitting face-to-face?

Here’s a Lab Micro-Experiment: next time you and your partner have something difficult to talk about, try taking the conversation outside and walking side-by-side.

For some people, not having to maintain constant eye contact can reduce the intensity of a difficult conversation. Walking may also help with stress and tension, while being side-by-side can feel less confrontational than sitting opposite each other.

But don't assume it will work. Test it.

Notice:

Is it easier to say what you actually mean?
Do silences feel more comfortable?
Do you listen differently?
Does the conversation feel less pressured?

Or perhaps you discover that you prefer talking face-to-face.

There’s no correct result. The point is to change one part of the environment and notice whether the way you relate to each other changes too.

Sometimes changing the conversation starts with changing where you have it.

If you keep getting stuck in the same conversations and want to understand the pattern between you, book a session through the link in my bio.

"Too much work” is only one part of the burnout co

"Too much work” is only one part of the burnout conversation.

Job demands can take many forms. Some are obvious, like workload and time pressure. Others are easier to overlook: emotionally demanding interactions, persistent friction with colleagues or managers, conflicting expectations, or organisational processes that consume time and energy.

There can also be physical demands — prolonged sitting, repetitive strain or disrupted schedules — and demands that continue beyond working hours, repeatedly interfering with recovery, relationships or responsibilities outside work.

And some workplace conditions go beyond what we casually call “work stress.”

Harassment, discrimination, unwanted behaviour or threats are serious psychosocial workplace risks and shouldn't simply be treated as something an individual needs to cope with better.

Often, it isn't one single demand that explains everything. Several can accumulate over time.

That's why, when someone is struggling at work, I don't want to ask only:
“How can you cope better?”
I also want to understand:
“What is repeatedly costing you energy — and which of those demands can actually be changed?”

Because sometimes the intervention isn't only about helping the person adapt better. It's also about looking at the conditions they're being asked to adapt to.

Trying to understand what's draining your energy at work? Send me “BURNOUT” or click the link in my bio to book a session.

Let’s map what’s actually happening at work.

Resilience can help. But it cannot make an unmanageable workload reasonable.

We talk a lot about building resilience to prevent burnout: better boundaries, better stress management, better coping mechanisms. And while those tools matter, they have a limit.

In occupational psychology, we look at the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model:

Demands: Excessive workload, conflicting expectations, lack of control, and poor support.
Resources: Autonomy, clear communication, psychological safety, and good leadership.

When workplace conditions are chronically unsustainable, teaching someone "better coping skills" doesn't remove the hazard—it just places the burden of a structural problem onto the individual.

Burnout prevention isn't only about strengthening the person. It's about changing preventable workplace risks.

Trying to figure out if the problem is the workload, your response to it, or both?

Ever notice that you sometimes feel different afte

Ever notice that you sometimes feel different after stepping outside?

Stress Recovery Theory, developed from Roger Ulrich's work, offers one explanation for why.

Research suggests that exposure to natural environments can support recovery following stress, with changes observed in emotional state and physiological measures such as heart rate, muscle tension and stress-related activity.
That doesn't mean nature is a magic “reset button,” or that everyone immediately becomes calm when they step outside.

It means the environment around us can be one part of how we recover from stress and that recovery doesn't necessarily require a weekend away.

Try making your next few minutes outside intentional and notice:
5 things you can see
4 sounds you can hear
3 textures you can feel
2 scents you can notice
1 slow, comfortable breath
