Burnout, trauma and PTSD

Today I had an amazing conversation with Caroline Strawson who is basically an all round amazing woman. Caroline is on a mission to create workplaces and organisations where mental health is the cornerstone of success and leadership embraces human connection.

Caroline's journey hasn't been easy. She is a survivor of domestic abuse, homelessness and financial collapse, facing £70,000 of debt while battling CPTSD and depression.

Rebuilding her life has taught her resilience, innovation, and the power of wellbeing not just for survival, but for high performance.

Caroline has built three multi-7 figure businesses, including The Mental Health Wellbeing Company , the UK's fastest growing franchise. This movement delivers accredited mental health and positive psychology workshops to workplaces, schools, and public sector organisations.

I invited Caroline on today initially to talk about the link between burnout and PTSD. We had a very insightful conversation all about burnout, trauma and PTSD or as Caroline likes to refer to it 'PTSR - Post Traumatic Stress Response.'

The key take away is that there is nothing wrong with you if you have experienced trauma or PTSD and being curious and compassionate with yourself is the key to escaping that feeling of being stuck.

Thank you Caroline. I love your work.
