While social and environmental objectives are not necessarily in conflict (indeed action to meet green objectives through domestic heating and insulation improvements represents the definitive policy in eradicating fuel poverty), a range of factors mean that they are nevertheless often
seen as
competing for political
priority and resources.
In my work as a relationship therapist, specializing in attachment theory, one phenomenon I often
see is overcommitted women and men struggling to stay on top of
competing priorities, resulting in complete exhaustion and burnout.If you feel depleted, overwhelmed, burned out, or inundated, it might be time to revisit the commitments in your life and restructure where needed.
