Feeling drained, overwhelmed, or burned out? You’re not alone. In this special bonus episode of Why I Knit, we explore knitting for burnout prevention and support emotional wellbeing.
I am joined by Creative Restoration’s co-founder and Clinical Psychologist Dr Paula Redmond, who specialises in working with health professionals experiencing burnout.
Paula speaks about her own journey into this work during Covid, and how, as a result, creativity in her personal life has encouraged her to bring it into her professional practice.
We talk about what burnout is and who might be more likely to experience it. Paula also shares why knitting is such a powerful tool for burnout prevention and how it can help people reconnect with rest and mastery.
We’ll be going into this in much more detail in our webinar, Unravelling Burnout
