A N E W P R O G R A M on the Calm app helps listeners learn how to rewire their brains to address stress and burnout, build resilience and improve mental health. "Modern-day stress and burnout look different," says Harvard physician Dr. Aditi Nerurkar, MD, MPH, in the intro- duction to Stress and Burnout Support, the new series she developed in collaboration with Calm. An expert in stress, burnout, mental health and resilience, Dr. Nerurkar explains that the classic signs of burnout used to be a lack of motivation and productivity. Today, however, 60% of people with burnout have "an inability to disconnect from work as their main feature." This change stems from the "constant onslaught" of stressors in the past few years, she says. Without the opportunity to rest and recover from stress, our brains don't function properly. We shift into survival mode, diminishing our ability to plan, organize, prioritize and execute tasks. And the longer we're in that state, Dr. Nerurkar explains, the harder it is to get out and the more we're at risk of burnout. To help members rewire their brains and shift out of a state of chronic stress or burnout, in each of the five epi- sodes of Stress and Burnout Support Dr. Nerurkar guides listeners with the same practical techniques that worked for her when she was a medical resident struggling with debili- tating stress. She explains the science behind each tool and then teaches listeners how they can apply them in just a few minutes anytime during the workday. The program is available on the Calm app and on the Calm Health platform.
