Focus - When We're Stressed

How does stress affect decision-making? What does burnout do to the brain? And how can parents find ways to cope with emotional exhaustion and fatigue?  

In this focus episode of How We’re Wired, join producer Dr Eva Higginbotham as she explores the neuroscience of burnout, from how brain cells lose connections during chronic stress, to why we evolved fight, flight or freeze.

With special thanks Sascha, Siobhan, Ciara, Rachel, Amy Arnsten, and Kendra Wilde.
