Toxic stress is more than just a buzzword-it's a physiological and psychological burden that, if unaddressed, can lead to chronic burnout. This engaging and interactive pre-conference session explores the nature of toxic stress, its impact on the brain and body, and why it's critical to recognize and respond to it early. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how toxic stress differs from everyday stress, how it manifests in the body, and practical, evidence-based strategies for managing its effects. The session will also delve into how unmanaged toxic stress can evolve into burnout, offering insights into how to identify the warning signs and implement sustainable approaches for building resilience, vitality, and long-term well-being-both personally and within teams.
