Q&A with Dr. Claire Plumbly, Author of 'Burnout: How to Manage Your Nervous System Before it Manages You'
Join us on Monday November 4th at 1 PM, ask all your questions
As therapists in private practice, we often pour so much of ourselves into helping others that we can forget to care for our own well-being. The emotional and psychological toll of running a private practice, managing multiple clients, and dealing with high-stress situations can lead to burnout. This is an increasing concern in our profession, especially with the relentless demands of modern life and work.
Burnout impacts us personally and can diminish our effectiveness as therapists.
That’s why I’m thrilled to announce an upcoming Q&A with Dr. Claire Plumbly, an HCPC-registered clinical psychologist and trauma therapist, on November 4th at 1 PM. Claire will be discussing her new book, Burnout: How to Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You, and answering questions about burnout and nervous system management, specifically tailored for therapists like you who are running their own practices.

Claire has over 20 years of experience in mental health and brings valuable insights from polyvagal theory and compassion-focused therapy. During this Q&A, she will share tools and strategies to prevent burnout and help you manage your nervous system more effectively.
