Is founder burnout different from regular burnout?
Yes. Founders carry identity-level stakes that most employees don't. When the business struggles, it feels like a personal failure. The Get Better framework addresses this directly through the Calling pillar — separating your worth from your company's performance.
Can I recover from burnout without taking a break from my company?
For most founders, a complete break isn't realistic. The TMS approach focuses on micro-recovery: tiny daily practices that restore your nervous system without requiring you to disappear.
How long does recovery from burnout take?
Most founders see measurable improvement in emotional baseline within 3-4 weeks of consistent practice. Full restoration — including restored motivation and creative energy — typically takes 90 days.
What's the difference between burnout and depression?
Burnout is primarily characterized by exhaustion and cynicism tied to work. Depression is a broader clinical condition affecting all areas of life. The Get Better framework's emotional vibration practices can support recovery from both, but clinical depression warrants professional support alongside the framework.
