Key takeaways:
- Your upbringing can contribute to burnout – at some point, the values you were taught as a child may crash into the realties you’re dealing with as an adult. Therapy can help you to unlock what’s going on.
- Take the time to find the right therapy for you – for Hamish, it was about finding practical solutions after understanding his past.
- Don’t fear AI. Instead, learn to vibe code and play around with the technology.
