​The mornings that get harder, the things that used to excite you that now feel hollow, the sense that you're running on empty but somehow still running. By the time most people recognise it, burnout has already been building for months.

​In this Growth Lab LIVE workshop session, Professor Joaquim T. Limonero takes a scientific look at what's actually happening, both psychologically and physically, when stress stops being useful and starts becoming harmful.

Tickets must be purchased via LUMA - from 10 euros.

​Drawing on health psychology and emotional regulation research, we'll explore why your nervous system responds to a difficult email the same way it once responded to a predator, how the stories you tell yourself about pressure shape your experience of it, and why some people seem to absorb stress while others accumulate it.
​
This isn't about telling you to sleep more and drink less coffee. It's about understanding the real mechanics of stress — so that when you feel it building, you know what's happening, and you actually have somewhere to go with it.

## ​What You'll Take Away

​1. Stress isn't the enemy — your relationship with it is Learn to distinguish between productive stress that sharpens your focus and toxic stress that quietly depletes you. The difference isn't always the situation — it's the meaning you assign to it.
​2. You have more control over your stress response than you think Cognitive appraisal — how you interpret a situation — is one of the most powerful levers you have. We'll look at practical ways to shift your internal narrative before the stress response takes hold.
​3. Burnout is a psychological signal, not a personal failure Understanding why some people are more vulnerable to burnout changes the conversation entirely. It's not about weakness or laziness — it's about patterns, history, and what we've learned to believe about our own worth under pressure.
​4. Emotional regulation is a skill, and most of us were never taught it There's a big difference between suppressing how you feel and actually processing it. We'll explore regulation strategies that build genuine resilience — not just the appearance of coping.
​5. Recovery is an active process Rest alone doesn't reverse burnout. We'll look at what psychological recovery actually requires, and how to build it into real life — not just in theory.
