Stress and the brain

Is rest really the remedy for stress-related issues?

A burnout lasts on average 9 months. It’s terrible to be out of action for such a long time due to stress-related issues. Moreover, employers face serious costs due to psychological absenteeism. It’s high time for action! Yet the phrase “Just take it easy for a while” is often heard. But is rest really the remedy for stress-related issues?

In this podcast, we discuss this with Brain Coach Jurgen Waisfisch and applied psychologist Kirsten van der Put. We explore what stress really is and learn that taking rest and avoiding it are two different things. From the physical response to stress to finding what energizes you, it’s all covered in this podcast.

One thing is for certain: binge-watching won’t make it better, so let’s take action!
