Shannon Audrey SwalesShannon Swales is a perfectly imperfect clinical psychologist who, in 2021, hit a wall. Suffering from burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and a return of mental health issues that had arisen in her twenties, Shannon set out to heal hersel and keep a journal of her progress. This journal became a popular blog and podcast originally called 'Burnout: A Different Kind of GAP Year', now called 'When Burnout Becomes Reality'.Shannon admits to still struggling sometimes and won't pretend to be okay. She is passionate about others living life, and she means living, not surviving; she cries when she sees someone make a breakthrough. She has returned to her career as a psychologist, running group and individual services for people suffering from burnout and other health conditions. Her mission is to destigmatise mental health experiences for fellow psychologists and all people, but more than this, to shine a light on the need for us all to pay attention to our mental health and know how to take care of it.
