Rob talks about the 12 phases of burnout, and how it begins with a compulsion to prove yourself, which leads to the neglect of important things, like your own needs, your health or your children. Rob also discusses the displacement of conflicts and how denial of your problems leads to withdrawing from the people in your life.
