Megan Rees, LPC on Burnout Hits Differently When Your Brain Is Running a Different OS
Note sull'episodio
In this episode, Naina sits down with Megan Rees — drama therapist, ADHD assessor, organizational consultant, and founder of her own therapy and coaching practice — to make the clinical case for why burnout in a neurodivergent brain is a different experience requiring a different response. They cover psychological safety beyond the poster on the wall, what undiagnosed ADHD actually looks like in a high-performing tech professional, and why doing a burnout workshop for a company that won't change anything is something Megan refuses to do. This one is for anyone who has spent years interpreting their own brain as a character flaw.
