Beyond Burnout: A Nervous System-Based Approach to Patient Care

Burnout is more than just emotional exhaustion — it’s a nervous system response to chronic stress and overwhelm, which manifests in both our patients and ourselves. In this practical, research-informed session, Dr. Danielle Angela, a Logan alum, will guide participants on how to clinically recognize and address burnout through a nervous system lens. Key features include: - Understanding key physiologic patterns associated with burnout - Applying updated diagnostic criteria - Integrating co-management strategies for long-term healing - Tools to support regulation, resilience, and recovery without leaving your practice. This session is designed for those supporting overwhelmed patients, as well as practitioners recognizing signs of professional fatigue.
