About this listen

In this episode of Transitional Objects, our co-hosts discuss the all-too-familiar territory of burnout. Kicking off with a candid discussion about Bridget's recent break from work, they explore how therapists, and really anyone, grapple with the pressures of nonstop productivity, especially in a climate as focused on productivity as the United States.
From recounting vacations that started with colonoscopies to defining what burnout looks like, Laura & Bridget truly leave nothing out. The conversation takes a global turn, comparing the work cultures of Italy and the U.S., and ends with a compassionate plea for all of us to give ourselves permission to rest (even if it's just for a moment). Equal parts witty, warm, and real, it's an episode that validates your weariness and maybe even helps you find a way to catch your breath.
