In this episode, my guest is Linnea Butler, a licensed mental health professional, and we discuss about signs of burnout, effects of COVID, strategies and tools on how to reduce stress and manage burnout. We also dig deeper into what is neurodiversity, how it is related to those in the tech industry, autistic burnout along with the psychedelic 'Ketamine' which is legally permitted for use (waitlist for this therapy experience in the Bay Area).
Linnea is a psychotherapist who is also the founder of a psychiatry practice based in the heart of the Silicon Valley. Having begun her career as a molecular biologist, then worked in the tech industry as a product manager and director of marketing and having gone back to school for psychotherapy and now a business owner, she knows what stress and BURNOUT is actually about.
