WORKSHOP

Burn Out

Understanding the Risks and Building Sustainable Protection Strategies

Burnout is not about excessive emotions, lack of motivation, or poorly managed feelings.

It is a silent collision between professional demands calibrated in a certain way and internal resources that are gradually depleted.

Burnout doesn’t announce itself. It slowly wears down, dissolves motivation, impairs cognitive functions, disconnects individuals from reality — until the breaking point.

This workshop is not yet another general awareness session. Instead, it immerses participants in a clear-eyed, embodied, and systemic analysis of the phenomenon. Its goal is to equip individuals and organizations with realistic, co-developed, and actionable protection strategies for everyday life.

OBJECTIVE

Understand the risks of burnout and develop sustainable protection strategies.

Workshop Programme

1Distinguishing to Prevent: Stress, Fatigue, Exhaustion, Burnout

Through real cases and anonymized testimonies, participants explore the subtle differences between stages of exhaustion:

  • When stress becomes dangerous
  • When fatigue turns into loss of clarity
  • When performance leads to over-adaptation
  • When “I’m managing” turns into “I’m losing myself”

2The Overloaded Brain: A Look into the Invisible Mechanism

A simplified neuroscience approach to burnout:

  • Prolonged overload impact on the prefrontal cortex
  • Suppression of “higher” emotions in favor of automatism
  • Reduced cognitive plasticity
  • Dysregulation of the dopaminergic system
  • Cortisol and chronic inflammation: the silent cascade

3The Exhausting System: When Work Consumes the Person

A systemic exploration of environmental burnout factors:

  • Vague expectations + low recognition
  • Invisible cognitive load + role pressure
  • Managerial ambiguities + silent over-responsibility
  • Ethical or value-based conflicts

4Individual Protection Strategy

Each participant maps out their dynamic vulnerability profile, using 3 personalized protection levers:

  • Personal early warning signal
  • Specific aggravating factor to monitor
  • Micro/macro recovery ritual to implement starting tomorrow

5Burnout and the Collective: Speaking Up, Intervening

Burnout is intimate but not exclusively individual. It often reflects a tacit climate of over-adaptation. A guided discussion on:
  • Fear of speaking up
  • Fatigue stigma
  • The collective’s role in prevention
  • The right to set boundaries without justification
Participants co-create a mutual vigilance charter, une boîte à outils comportementale short, realistic, and applicable to their specific context.
