The Nurse Burnout Recovery Workbook
A CBT-Based Program for Compassion Fatigue, Moral Injury, and Finding Your Way Back
Short, structured exercises that fit around twelve-hour shifts and give you something useful to do next.
Burnout is neither weakness nor a personal failure. It is what can happen when impossible staffing, accumulated trauma, and the emotional labor of care have gone on for too long. This CBT-based workbook offers a twelve-week, fill-in program for beginning the repair.
Inside this book
- Self-assessments for burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral injury
- Nurse-specific thought records for interrupting hindsight, self-blame, and shift guilt
- The boundary ladder: scripts and guilt-decay logs for saying no without carrying it for days
- Shift-work sleep trackers, an after-shift decompression plan, and practical body-maintenance tools
- Chapter notes pages and a complete 12-week program with weekly reviews
- The Return-to-Purpose decision protocol: recommit, reshape, or leave, based on evidence
Use it on its own or with After the Shift, the companion guide that explains the mechanisms this workbook helps you practice.
