Burnout<br />
Q<br />
I’m worried<br />
about a<br />
colleague.<br />
They have become<br />
detached and seem to<br />
have lost their ‘spark’.<br />
How can I support<br />
them?<br />
One of our fundamental<br />
A needs is to be truly<br />
seen, and when a person<br />
becomes disconnected, they<br />
have become invisible –<br />
even to themselves. When<br />
this is done with kindness<br />
and compassion, it creates<br />
a much-needed space for<br />
connection.<br />
Tips include keeping things<br />
simple. Let them know<br />
that you see them in this<br />
struggle, and that you are<br />
there for them. Have soft<br />
eye contact. Be gentle with<br />
your tone of voice. Choose<br />
a place and time that fits<br />
this more intimate moment.<br />
Avoid speculating why this<br />
is happening, or trying to fix<br />
it. Be ready to listen. Don’t<br />
get hung up on needing to<br />
do something, or expecting<br />
them to ask for something<br />
in return. The very act of<br />
seeing them is a powerful<br />
support in itself.<br />
