Dr Bernadette Dancy: High Achieving Neurodivergents: The Impact of Stress on Your Life - Utopia | Qbtech

Do you know what Stress does to a Neurodivergent's brain and body? Why are we so susceptible to #burnout? What can we do about it?  This is an absolute GIFT from the Utopia campaign to all the high achieving NDs who are on a perpetual hamster wheel.  Bernadette Dancy PhD (Health coach) and me discussed why stress shows up so much in a neurodivergent's life and the ensuing burnout, gender differences and what it looks like in terms of biology and behaviour, sharing examples of impact of the stress culture on our work lives, and why some struggle to "come out” and unmask at work, and some stress management strategies.
