RESET
Rebuild steadier days after burnout
RESET is the second phase of the Where I'm At Framework. For you if: life still feels tender, but there may be enough space to begin stabilising: less urgency, more honesty, and a need for gentler rebuilding.

Is RESET right for you?
If life still feels fragile… if you are wired and tired… if you want support without pressure… if you need structure without hustle, RESET may be where to begin rebuilding.
You can go slowly. One module at a time.
Want a picture of where you are first? The free Reset Check-In wheel rates six areas by how resourced you feel today. Take it now and again later to see what has moved. Nothing is stored or sent.
What you will get
- Steadier days without rigid routines
- Energy-first planning
- Clearer boundaries
- Low-pressure experiments
- Tools for wobblier days
Course snapshot
01Module 1: Coming Back to Yourself
A gentler arrival after the Come Down, checking in with where you actually are.
02Module 2: Energy Before Action
Noticing your energy before you act, and planning from capacity rather than pressure.
03Module 2.5: Coping & Numbing (Optional)
A shame-free look at how we take the edge off when life feels like too much.
04Module 3: Tiny Softening Moments & Safety Signals
Noticing the small moments when things feel even slightly less braced, and building on them.
05Module 4: Reintroducing Rhythm
Moving from rigid routine to a gentler rhythm, with the RESET Day Planner to shape it. Includes a conversation with a sleep specialist, shared as one guest's perspective, not a recommendation.
06Module 5: Boundaries for Recovery
Small internal and external boundaries that protect the steadiness you are rebuilding.
07Module 6: Tiny Experiments (Labs A to E)
Five optional, low-pressure experiments. Try one, or none.
08Module 7: Integration & Looking Ahead
Gathering what RESET has given you, and noticing what may come next.
09Module 8: Staying Supported in Reset
Building your support map and your plan for wobblier days.
10Bonus Module: Tools & Resources (Optional)
The tools and supports that helped me personally. Optional, never required.
How to use RESET
Two ways to begin
Minimum Viable RESET: one short practice + one honest observation. Steadier RESET: one module + one lab this week.
Suggested pace
Try one module per week, or slower. Repeat what helps.
Where to post (optional)
Check-ins: Community Hub. Labs: Labs & Tiny Experiments. Wins and support: Support & Wins.
What you need / how to prepare
You do not need prior knowledge. You only need:
- Permission to go gently
- Willingness to work with your actual capacity, not your ideal self
- A notebook, if that helps
- Readiness for steadier days rather than acute decompression
RESET is best for the point where there is a little more space than before. If you feel overwhelmed, unsafe, or unable to cope, start with RECOGNISE Module 6: The Come Down Phase and RECOGNISE Module 8: The Support Module. Seek professional support where needed.
What this framework is grounded in
The Where I'm At Framework comes from lived experience, not clinical practice. It was built from one person's documented burnout and recovery, and from the language of this community, which is why it sounds like everyday life rather than a textbook.
It is deliberately not clinical: there are no stages to pass, no scores, and no diagnosis. Where research informs it, the sources are named on the page. It is education and peer support, designed to sit alongside professional care, never to replace it.
What this course is not (important)
RESET is not:
- therapy, coaching, diagnosis, treatment, or crisis support
- medical, psychiatric, nutritional, legal, financial, or employment advice
- a comeback plan, optimisation plan, or productivity system in disguise
- a set of rules you need to perform perfectly
This is lived-experience education designed to sit alongside professional care where needed.
Who this course may not be for
RESET may not be the best fit right now if:
- you feel unsafe or unable to cope right now, and need urgent support rather than reflection
- you need urgent clinical or crisis support
- you are looking for personalised treatment advice or 1:1 coaching
- you need decompression first rather than rebuilding
- reflection or experimentation still feels too activating right now
If that is the case, please seek local emergency help or qualified professional support, and begin with the gentler safety route first.
