Dealing with Feeling Burnout or Anxiety? Jessi Gold on Overwhelm and Emotion Regulation
Dr. Jessi Gold joins Dr. Marc Brackett on Dealing with Feeling to explore why so many people feel overwhelmed right now—and how burnout can masquerade as anxiety in a high-pressure world.
They discuss how to tell the difference between burnout and anxiety, why emotion regulation matters for long-term mental health, and what practical strategies can help you navigate stress at work and at home without powering through at the cost of your well-being.
In this conversation:
- How burnout can look and feel like anxiety
- The difference between overwhelm, stress, and anxiety
- Why emotion regulation is a skill, not a personality trait
- Practical strategies for building resilience in demanding environments
