Burnout: Practical Boundaries for COP Practitioners

This episode explores how professionals who work with traumatised or difficult clients can recognise and prevent burnout. Daniel Thomas, founder of Chroma and music therapist, explains how everyone carries cumulative life stress, why juniors often face heavy emotional labour, how post-COVID remote working heightens isolation and offers pragmatic strategies. The discussion normalises emotional responses and reframes resilience as a skill supported by structural and personal practices, not a moral failing.
