Burnout – Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You – Clinical Psychologist Dr Claire Plumbly
Welcome to the final guest episode of Season One of A Therapeutic Hour. Today, I’m joined by Clinical Psychologist Dr Claire Plumbly, who works extensively with clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, and burnout.
