ACT for Burnout with Dr Debbie Sorensen

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 9 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.

Today I continue my chat with Dr Debbie Sorensen, Clinical Psychologist, podcast host and author. And we're going to focus in on her book - ACT for Burnout. The ingredients Debbie brings to people soup are her reflections on the writing process, including the demons that showed up and the level of self disclosure. You'll also hear her refreshingly honest approach to mindfulness and she shares a term I hadn't come across before - care washing.

For those of you who are new to People Soup - welcome - it's great to have you here - I aim to provide you with ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond. For those of you who are regular P Soupers - thanks for tuning in - we love it that you're part of our community.
