How to Detach From Work Before It Destroys Your Life | Dr. Guy Winch

Guy Winch reveals that when you're stressed at work, your partner at home can actually start developing symptoms of burnout themselves, even if they don't work. The most surprising truth? Your workday doesn't end when you close your laptop. It ends when you stop thinking about work, and most people never truly clock out. He exposes why relaxation alone won't recharge you after mental exhaustion and shares the counterintuitive actions that actually restore your energy. This isn't just about surviving your job. It's about reclaiming the parts of yourself you've been amputating one by one while everyone around you suffers the spillover.

Guy’s books:

• Emotional First Aid
• The Squeaky Wheel
• How to Fix a Broken Heart (TED Books)
• Mind Over Grind

In this episode you will:

• Break free from rumination that keeps you stuck in fight-or-flight mode hours after work by converting your emotional spiral into a solvable problem with a simple three-step process
• Uncover the shocking truth about why relaxation is only 50 percent of what you need to recover from burnout, and what recharging activities will actually fill your battery
• Discover why your unhealed wounds are making you choose unhealthy relationships at work and home, and the exact moment you need to look in the mirror instead of blaming others
• Transform how you think about stress by understanding that your job isn't stressful all the time, it has stressful moments, and this one reframe can dramatically lower your cortisol levels
• Master the psychological ritual that trains your brain to detach from work mode, using all five senses to create a transition your nervous system will recognize instantly
