I'm Dr Naomi Fisher. I'm a clinical psychologist. That means I'm a psychologist who specialises in mental health and behaviour, and I work with a lot of young people and their families.
This course is for young people and also their parents if they want to watch. It's about burnout recovery for young people.
Using videos from a young person called Chloe ("Me Just Me" on YouTube), and with original illustrations by Eliza Fricker (missingthemark.co.uk ) I'll describe burnout through the metaphor of a road vehicle.
When our vehicle navigates too many obstacles without enough maintenance, we start to show wear and tear. We get less able to cope with stress. We find it harder to keep calm and we're more affected by change and challenge. And sometimes we break down altogether.
I'll define burnout so you can see if it applies to you, and:
I'll describe some of the things that you can to keep you safely on the road.
Chloe will describe how hard she finds things once her 'bucket is full', and how she can help to keep her bucket from filling up.
I'll talk about the four main stages in recovering from burnout and what you need to support you in this recovery.
I'll talk about how you can be easier on yourself, and how you can start making the first small steps to recover from burnout.
This course is available to watch for 12 months after purchase.

This mini-course is for teenagers to watch themselves. It explains why sometimes, everything feels like pressure and the more others try to help you, the harder it is to do anything, even things you’d like to do. It helps teens think about how to build a life which works for them. It’s suitable for anyone who experiences demand avoidance, whether or not they have a diagnosis.
This mini-course for teenagers to watch by themselves is about what anxiety is like for teenagers, and how sometimes the things we do to try and make anxiety better, end up making it worse. It has some clips from Jenna, who is 18 and who has lots of experience of anxiety. She’ll tell you about what helped her and how she’s manages to live the life that she wants to live.
This mini-course is for teenagers to watch themselves. When teenagers stop going to school, it can be hard to know what happens next. They’ve spent years being told that school is essential for their future, and they have no idea how to start learning without a teacher and a classroom. They feel hopeless – how can they have a future, if they don’t go to school? Featuring clips of a teenager who themselves stopped going to school in Year 9 and in a conversational and down-to-earth style, your teenager will see that they are not alone. It’s possible to learn outside school, and there are many others who have paved the way.
An increasing number of parents are saying that their children have 'lost their spark' and don't enjoy things in the way that they used to. They are exhausted and lacking in energy. Some of them become completely unable to attend school and stop doing things they used to be able to do. In this new course, Naomi discusses burnout in children and what can parents do about it. She'll describe the factors which contribute to burnout and how parents can prevent it. She'll then move on to talking about children who are already burnt out and will give some tips for helping them to move towards recovery.
Things have gone wrong at school for your teenager, and now it’s like they have nothing left. They have lost their sense of what made life worth living. You don’t know how to help, and sometimes it seems like whatever you do makes things worse. Naomi will explain how burnout happens and what the process of recovery looks like.
