High performers and High Achievers and especially High Performing LEADERS including visionary entrepreneurs are prone to burnout! Read on to find out why,!

Burnout is not something most want to talk about.

Most are in fact in denial of the fact that they are burnout

And this includes us high achievers and high performers and especially us high performing leaders whether we are visionary entrepreneurs or not.

The reason why we are prone to burnout is because what burns us out also fires us up.

We are givers and find it hard to say no

We are generous and charitable and highly driven.

We are ambitious and being so highly driven usually results in burnout.

However when we can identify the symptoms of burnout, then this can prevent the devastating effects of this disease.

I recorded this video back in 2018 but it is still valid today.

You will find it especially useful if you are a healer,  health care or social care professional.

Burnout though is very democratic and as I said high performers and high achievers are very prone to the phenomenon.

Whoever you are and whatever you do, you can be affected by burnout.

I hope this video makes you aware of the phenomenon.

In my case I found the worst experience of burnout in my life the most transformative.

I literally transformed the shit of my life into emotional and spiritual GOLD by facing the feelings I had been denying for twenty years.

That is what alchemy is transforming all that is base and crap and shitty within you to GOLD.

That is why I refer to myself as The Muslim Alchemist. I have this mission to beat burnout so everyone can transform the shit within them and around them into Gold.

I am not the only Muslim that is an alchemist. There are many Muslims who are. We are all Alchemists. Being an alchemist is not confined to a faith group.

Sadly though many of us have forgotten we are alchemists and look to others to do the transforming.

Only we ourselves can transform by facing the shit we are feeling.

Most of us don’t like feeling.

We numb ourselves using medication, work,sex or food.

We try anything to avoid feeling

This works for a time but ONLY a short time.

In my experience as a social worker when you avoid feelings this causes more problems in the long run.

One of them is burnout.

So today I will ask you to face your feelings.

Instead of numbing them

I hope you find the video useful.

Taniya Hussain qualified as a Social Worker in 1991 from Coventry University in England, UK. She has been working on the front lines in London UK, consistently holding space for individuals and families in chaos and crisis for three decades especially, children and young people on the margins of society. Taniya studied Psycho-dynamic counselling from 1991 to 1993 at Goldsmiths College in London. Taniya met Sheikha Halima Krausen in 1992 and has been studying Islam with her ever since especially Mystical Islam, Tassawuf (Sufism) and walks on the Chisti path. Taniya fuses Jungian Pyschology and Islamic Psychology and this fusion can best be understood if you read her book Dancing with Darkness which is available on Amazon. It became a Best Seller on Amazon in the UK, U.S and France in April 2025. The book tells the story of Tamara Alvi, a fictional charachter and is a psychological thriller and a story of healing. Taniya started her coaching and consulting business in January 2018 and she works mainly with High Achievers and High Performers and High Performing Leaders, offering reflective spaces since 2018 and what she refers to as THE REFLECTIVE SPACE. Taniya since starting her busines discovered that she is a powerful healer and was shocked that clients were relieved from pain even though they have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. Taniya is delighted to have discovered Paceology, which is the detailed study of PACE. She is the first paceologist. She noticed when working with high performers when you slow down in one area of your life, this causes you to speed up in another area and vice cersa thus leading to increased levels of productivity, creativity, clarity and energy. She brands herself as the Muslim Alchemist because she really is The Muslim Alchemist as she guides you to transfom the base, in other words the shit that you have experienced into GOLD whether that is love of yourself or God or another human being or a healthier body or a life where you feel at peace and calm and fulfilled or more energy or more money. You definintely will feel lighter, more freer and more clearer even if you book one consultation with her or several sessions. Taniya has a very holistic approach when working with individuals and works with you on multiple layers, the emotional, the psychological, the social, the physical, the mental and the spriritual. She uses stories from the Quran and the Bible when working with clients on a one to one basis or in group workshops as well as breathwork, body scanning, cognitive behavioural therapy, neuro linguistic programming, motivational interviewing. systems theory, neuro science. She is trained in multiple modalities as well as using her own Paceology and insists on offering her clients a trauma informed and trauma responsive service. She is constantly integrating her knowledge of the Quran and Bible with her vast social work experience and training. Taniya's extensive ability of applying psycho-dynamic theory to organisational settings, teams and groups as well as to individuals results in those who attend her sessions or workshops as feeling lighter and more energised. Taniya uses skillfully her understanding of the Shadow, that Jung constantly talked about and her Mystical Training. She also has integrated her passion for inter-faith dialogue and the archetypes that Jung often refers to, come alive in her one to one sessions and her group workshops thus resulting in individuals feeling more freer and fulfilled after they stop working with her. Taniya just does not provide clarity she WAKES you up to. Taniya has a great skill in being able to see the blind spots in others and does this in a non judgemental way and a way that you feel safe. She also "untangles energetic knots" (a term she uses for Shadow) in your body to promote healing from mental and physical disease. Clients usually are healed in a short amount of time because she pinpoints the memory, the event, the thought that first caused the disease. She also provides one to one sessios or training workshops to social work teams, school, secure and prison estate on youth justice, knife crime prevention as well asidentification and prevention of early onset of burnout. Taniya has three sons, who were born in 1996, 2001 and 200 and lives in Surrey, England and when she is not coaching or writing songs, blogs and poems, she loves to spend time, travelling, walking, listening to music, watching films or playing cricket. She speaks fluent English and Urdu and basic German and French and is learning Arabic and Hebrew.
