Overview

Using ACT and CFT for Burnout Recovery: The Beyond Burnout Blueprint introduces an innovative approach to navigating burnout by integrating evidence-based strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). Burnout is everywhere—especially in health care, education, and other demanding professions—and many solutions stop at surface-level fixes. This book offers an innovative, compassionate, science-based roadmap to build resilience and create responsive work cultures that not only address burnout but also prevent it from taking hold. The author presents the Beyond Burnout Blueprint: A six-step framework that moves people from depletion to sustainable burnout recovery. Through case stories, reflection exercises, and practical tools, readers learn how to craft a values-driven vision, welcome difficult emotions, defuse from unhelpful narratives, amplify unique strengths, practice fierce and restorative compassion, and let values guide their work and lives. The book bridges research and practice, applying psychological science not only to individual recovery but also to teams and organizations. Unlike quick-fix wellness guides, this book integrates ACT and CFT to tackle burnout at its roots both individually and systemically. It empowers readers to recover, prevent, and transcend burnout while shaping workplaces that are psychologically safe, compassionate, and resilient, offering enduring tools for personal renewal and organizational change. With accessible writing and actionable strategies, this book equips clinicians, leaders, and professionals in high-stakes fields with skills that are both immediately useful and deeply transformative for helping those with burnout, and will appeal to anyone who may be suffering from burnout and looking for coping strategies to implement into their daily lives.
