Understanding Burnout - A Conversation with Elisabet Hammaburg
What does it mean to truly understand burnout?
In this episode, I sit down with Elisabet Hammaburg, author of the Swedish book Förstå din utmattning (Understanding Burnout), to explore the many layers of exhaustion, recovery, and embodied healing.
With a background in biomedicine and neurobiology — and a deeply personal experience of collapse — Elisabet shares how burnout changed her inner landscape. We speak about identity, the nervous system, and what it takes to slowly rebuild a relationship to breath, self-compassion, and rest.
This conversation is not about quick fixes. It’s about the quiet, often unseen work of finding safety in your body again.
If you’re moving through your own process — or supporting others who are — I invite you to explore my online community, where we meet each week through breath, movement, and gentle regulation practices. You are so welcome to join us, exactly as you are.
