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 Come Down: check in with your body, your energy, and where you are today, using the Reset Check-In wheel as your starting point. You will come back to the same wheel in Module 7 to see what has shifted.
02Module 2: Energy Before Action
Notice your energy before you act. Plan from capacity, not pressure.
03Module 2.5: Coping & Numbing (Optional)
A shame-free look at the ways many of us take the edge off when life feels too much, without pressure to change overnight.
04Module 3: Tiny Softening Moments & Safety Signals
Notice the small moments when things feel even slightly easier, softer, or less braced, and build on them gently.
05Module 4: Reintroducing Rhythm
Move from rigid routines to gentler rhythms using the RESET Day Planner and a more realistic sense of capacity. Includes a conversation with a sleep specialist, shared as one guest's perspective rather than a recommendation.
06Module 5: Boundaries for Recovery
Internal and external boundaries that reduce self-abandonment and protect the steadiness you are rebuilding.
07Module 6: Tiny Experiments (Labs A–E)
Low-pressure experiments you can choose from: inner voice, tiny sparks of joy, gentle movement, reducing stimulation, and gratitude in real life. Each lab now ends with a short review, so you can decide what to keep and what to leave.
08Module 7: Integration & Looking Ahead
Run the Reset Check-In wheel a second time and compare it with where you started in Module 1. Gather what RESET has given you and gently notice what may come next, without pressure for a full plan.
09Module 8: Staying Supported in Reset
Build your support map and wobble plan so you do not carry recovery alone.
10Bonus Module: Tools & Resources (Optional)
A transparent look at tools, practices, and supports that helped me personally, clearly 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.
