Recap of Dopamine Hacks for the Burnt Out Brain

If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or just plain exhausted, you’re not alone, and you’re not lazy. On July 23, 2025, Mental Health Connecticut hosted a powerful Virtual Lunch & Learn session with certified ADHD Coach Robyn Greenspan, MS, who helped us unpack how burnout can deplete dopamine, our brain’s motivation and reward chemical.

In this engaging, research-informed session, Robyn shared practical, science-backed strategies to help you reset your momentum by activating dopamine in healthy, sustainable ways. From understanding the neuroscience of burnout to learning how simple actions like daydreaming, moving your body, or even using your non-dominant hand can spark motivation, attendees walked away with new tools and hope.

Whether you’re experiencing burnout or supporting someone who is, this session is a must-watch for anyone ready to recharge.
