Burnout

Stress is the body's reaction to harmful situations -- whether they’re real or perceived. When you feel threatened, a chemical reaction occurs in your body that allows you to act in a way to prevent injury. This reaction is known as "fight-or-flight,” or the stress response. In small doses, stress can help you accomplish tasks and prevent you from physical danger. However, long term unmanaged stress can affect all aspects of your life, including your emotions, behaviours, thinking ability, and physical health. We help provide direct interventions to deal with accumulated stress and build a neurology which is more capable of maintaining emotional stability and perspective.

Depression & Anxiety

Burnout

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest and motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place.

How we deliver

About the Protocol

Cybermindz is delivering to cyber teams an optimized version of the iRest (Integrative Restoration) protocol developed by Dr Richard Miller.

Our program and delivery is therefore peer informed relying on an authentic understanding of the language and culture of cybersecurity born of our deep background as former cyber and military leaders.

This leads to a high level of buy-in from teams we train as they quickly see our facilitators have an empathy and insight into the unique combination of factors that may be driving their burnout.

Our accredited facilitators can deliver in-person or remotely.

iRest is a simple 10-step protocol that is easy to learn and can be practiced anytime, anywhere. Its positive effects are supported by scientific trials and military based research.

Cybermindz is now pioneering research to quantify the extent of burnout drivers in our industry. We are

able to measure and report on the effectiveness of our programs.

Many healthcare providers share the steps of iRest with clients who are active duty service members, veterans or military family members experiencing chronic pain, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress, and other conditions.

iRest can be practiced in short sessions of 10 or 20 minutes, to induce deep relaxation and leave you feeling refreshed and alert. It can also be used before bed, to ease your body and mind into restful sleep, even if you work shifts or are sleep deprived.

As an evidence-informed attention training protocol, iRest is being taught and shared in several military and veteran settings, such as through the Veteran’s Health Administration’s Whole Health Program, community based Vet Centers, Deployment and Reintegration Yellow Ribbon Programs, military medical treatment facilities, private studios offering programs for military and veterans, U.S. military installations, and foreign defense services such as the Australian Defense Force and Canadian and British Armed Forces. iRest has been endorsed by the U.S. Army Surgeon General and recognized by the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury as a form of complementary therapy.
