The Teacher Burnout Recovery Workbook
A CBT-Based Program for Emotional Exhaustion, Sunday Dread, and Loving Teaching Again
You did not stop loving teaching. You ran out of room to keep giving.
You can manage a classroom with one raised eyebrow, yet Sunday evenings may now arrive with a weight that has little to do with lesson plans. That is not weakness. It is burnout: a real occupational injury with identifiable causes. This CBT-based workbook is built for the actual conditions of teaching, including endless grading, behavior drain, impossible audiences, and work that follows you home.
Inside this book
- Baseline assessments for emotional exhaustion, compassion fatigue, and moral injury
- Triage without shame, a realistic grading contract, and an email constitution
- Teacher-specific thought records for ending the nightly courtroom
- The boundary ladder, an after-school airlock, and a Sunday-night redesign
- Sleep, movement, and fueling practices designed around a school day
- A complete practice library: 20 thought records, daily situation logs, 12 weekly reviews, and trackers
- The three doors: recommit, reshape, or leave, chosen deliberately and with evidence
For classroom teachers, specialists, and anyone who still loves the work but is being worn down by the job around it.
