Whether professional or personal, navigating relationships can be challenging. In general, we need three things have fulfilling and healthy relationships:

- To be accessible to the person we are in the relationship with (and to have access to them).
- To be engaged in the conversation we are having or activity we are participating in (and feel the other person is as well).
- To be responsive to their needs and wants (and have them demonstrate responsive to ours).

Burnout is included in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as an occupational phenomenon despite not being classified as a medical condition. It is defined as follows: “Burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.

It is characterized by three dimensions:
- feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
- increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and
reduced professional efficacy.”

The high prevalence of burnout is due in part to the social environments in which people work. More specifically in many occupational settings individuals:
- feel overworked
- lack control over what they do
- are insufficiently rewarded for their work
- experience a breakdown in community/connection
- are treated unfairly
- experience completing needs, values or both

This protocol for burnout is not just aimed at recovery. It aspires to facilitate the creation and maintenance of a values-based life. In so doing, it will pre-empt the loss of vitality characterized by burnout. While prevention is noble, it is an avoidant strategy in response to psychopathological orientation and therefore negative in its purpose. It is imperative to refocus the self-care and control over determinants of our health away from pathology towards health promotion and living authentically.

The protocol includes but is not limited to:

- Identification of motivational patterns, 1-2 sessions.
- Bringing conscious awareness to tendencies towards work-related endeavors as a form of avoidant coping and/or striving for a sense of self-worth/self-justification 2-5 sessions.
- Values to action exercises, 1-3 session with ongoing behaviour activation exercises.
