Introduction

As mentioned previously, there are several personal risk factors that increase the risk of developing a burnout.

Three important personal risk factors will be addressed in the following lessons, namely:

• Not being able to say ‘No’
• Over-responsibility
• Unhealthy perfectionism

During these lessons we offer:

• we give you crucial information about the risk factor
• we explain how to eliminate this risk factor
