Beyond Mindfulness: The Real Psychology for Peak Performance Without Burnout
A free Justia webinar explores how talented attorneys can achieve sustainable peak performance without risking mental health burnout. Many lawyers struggle with burnout despite their best efforts to maintain wellness, often because they work against their natural psychological wiring. This program offers evidence-based frameworks and practical tools to help legal professionals understand and overcome the hidden patterns that sabotage success.
The webinar highlights the "wellness paradox," where even well-intentioned efforts can backfire due to unconscious behaviors like self-medication through overwork or perfectionism. It explains why willpower alone isn’t enough—drawing on concepts like the Upper Limit Problem and amygdala hijack, which are rooted in neuroscience. These psychological mechanisms explain how stress and burnout manifest chemically in the brain, not as character flaws.
Key strategies include boundary-setting techniques that actually protect mental health, energy management tailored to individual neurotypes (not one-size-fits-all solutions), and an After Action Review process for learning from mistakes without self-blame. The program also provides actionable steps, such as identifying personal patterns that lead to burnout and creating a one-week action plan.
For legal professionals, this approach matters because it offers a realistic path to long-term success and well-being. By working with their psychological wiring instead of against it, attorneys can avoid the common pitfalls of burnout while maintaining peak performance. The webinar’s speaker, Doug Brown, shares real-life experience as both a lawyer and someone who has struggled with ADHD and panic attacks, making his insights deeply relatable and practical.
The program is designed to provide actionable solutions for legal professionals seeking sustainable success without sacrificing their mental health. With CLE credits available in multiple jurisdictions, this webinar is an essential resource for attorneys looking to enhance both their performance and well-being.
