Self-care is important no matter who you are, but if you’re a parent or a professional in the stressful world of autism, self-care becomes vital. Dr. Becca Tagg has experienced her own burnout during her career and she can testify that self-care is absolutely necessary in our world. Today I’m talking about burnout prevention in the autism world.

Dr. Tagg immediately fell in love with her career, not because it was easy, but because it was “wonderfully” messy. She thrived off of the creative problem solving and the out-of-the-box solutions. But somewhere along the way she began to feel burnt out and it became hard for her to muster that same enthusiasm towards her job.

So Dr. Tagg made some changes in her career, and she also started researching burnouts and burnout prevention. She learned that one of the causes was emotional exhaustion and not taking the time to take care of oneself; something that can easily happen when someone becomes fixated on their career, is seeing little to no progress, or when they’re so focused on helping someone else that they completely forget about themselves.

Parents and professionals in the autism community just want to help a child lead their happiest, healthiest, safest life; but who is going to make sure that you lead your best life as well?

Dr. Tagg shares her tips for getting healthy and staying in a good headspace. She shares some of her favorite burnout prevention tips, as well as some apps and websites about self-care and self-compassion and reminds us that we are just as important as the children who are so dear to us. To help them succeed, we must first help ourselves.
