Burnout Recovery Plan Course
Structure of the Course
The full course is divided into in 4 modules with 2-3 sections each. If you work on the content of each section for about 2-3 hours of time over two weeks, you’ll have plenty of time to process the information, respond to it, do the activities, and share what you’re learning with your allies. At that rate, the full course takes about 6 months. You have two options for accessing the course: One DIY Module at a Time or Community Based.

Introducing the Burnout Recovery Plan Course
DIY Modules
Each module focuses in on a topic relevant to Neurodivergent Burnout divided into two or three sections. Each section will have:
A video of BT and Miles having a discussion about the topic that always includes ideas for communicating with allies and loved-ones
Writing prompts for reflection
A creative or experiential prompt
Introducing our first community-based course!
This course isn’t just an infodump! It’s based in community, so we’re offering a few different ways to connect with both the material and each other. If you have trouble completing things on your own, this option is for you. My hope is that friendships will be made and our support networks will grow!
Structure of the Course
The full course is divided into in 12 two week sections so we have plenty of time to process the information, respond to it, discuss it, do the activities, and share our experiences. I recommend setting aside at least 1 hour a week for 6 months to complete the full course.
Each section will have the same content as the DIY Modules:
A video of BT and Miles having a discussion about the topic that always includes ideas for communicating with allies and loved-ones
Writing prompts for reflection in your journal
A creative prompt
With additional community support for your progress including:
Access to community and course discussion spaces. Sharing is always both optional and encouraged!
