A Burnout Guide for ADHD Women

🌟 My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is available to preorder here 🌟 In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Claire Plumbly, a clinical psychologist specialising in trauma, early life stress, and burnout. Claire is the director of Good Therapy Ltd and the author of Burnout: How to Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You, recently released in the US as The Trauma of Burnout. We explore the often-misunderstood nature of burnout, particularly among neurodivergent women, many of whom unknowingly operate in a chronic state of “high-functioning burnout.” Claire brings her deep understanding of trauma-informed care and the autonomic nervous system to offer fresh perspectives on managing burnout, with practical tips and compassionate insights tailored for those with ADHD, autism, or high emotional sensitivity.
