76. Digging Deeper: Uncovering the Root Causes of Teacher Burnout

The Resilient Teacher Podcast

If you find yourself deep in the trenches of teacher burnout, you're not alone. The demands of modern education can feel like an ever-expanding tree, with branches of stress, anxiety, and exhaustion stretching in all directions. Perhaps you've tried various strategies, self-care routines, or even sought advice from colleagues, and yet, the burnout persists. If this sounds familiar, I have an important revelation for you: it's highly likely that you've been treating the symptoms rather than addressing the true core cause of your burnout.

In this episode, we will dig deep to discuss how teacher burnout is like a tree with branches of stress, anxiety, and exhaustion stretching in all directions, but most importantly how the solutions to your burnout struggles are found in understanding the root reasons behind your exhaustion and overwhelm. We'll dive into the multiple factors that contribute to burnout, emphasizing that it's rarely just one thing causing your stress, anxiety, and burnout. Instead of viewing it as an insurmountable mountain, we'll show you how to break it down into manageable pieces and provide you with a free tool to making lasting change.
