Does it feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?

You constantly feel exhausted. You notice yourself feeling on edge and being irritable.

More and more you notice how checked out you’ve been as you go through the motions day to day.

Your personal and professional relationships are starting to be affected as your irritation with the world increases. You find yourself detaching by scrolling through your phone or watching television. Your down time isn’t sufficient enough to recharge you for the next day’s tasks.

 

You just need a freaking break!

In today's fast-paced and chaotic world, stress and burnout have become all too common. Stress is an inevitable part of life. It can be caused by various factors, such as work pressure, relationship problems, financial difficulties, or health issues. When stress becomes chronic and overwhelming, it can lead to burnout – a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Burnout can manifest as feelings of detachment, cynicism, and a reduced sense of accomplishment.

Burnout can also feel like:

  • Persistent fatigue or lack of energy

  • Feelings of emptiness or loneliness

  • Loss of motivation

  • Reduced sense of accomplishment or satisfaction

  • Difficulty concentrating or problem solving

  • Isolation

  • Irritability

  • Increased conflicts

Burnout is more than a buzz word

The effects of stress and burnout go beyond mere feelings of exhaustion. The constant pressure, long work hours, and overwhelming responsibilities can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, depression, and even physical symptoms such as headaches and digestive issues. Prolonged stress can have a detrimental impact on both our mental and physical health. Additionally, chronic stress can disrupt sleep patterns, impair cognitive function, and negatively affect our relationships and overall quality of life. Recognizing the signs of stress and burnout is crucial in order to seek the necessary support and intervention.

FAQS

What others have wondered about counseling for burnout

 

  • Burnout is a state of chronic physical and emotional exhaustion, often accompanied by feelings of cynicism and detachment from work or other domains of life. It is a response to prolonged periods of chronic stress, usually in the workplace. Burnout can affect various aspects of an individual's life, including their physical health, mental well-being, and interpersonal relationships.

  • While burnout is most common in the workplace, I’ve found clients feel burnout in other domains in life as well, usually their home life. Stressors, such as high responsibility, feeling there is a lack of control over one's life, unclear expectations, and a lack of support from their significant other. Additionally, personal factors, such as perfectionism and a tendency to overcommit, can contribute to the development of burnout.
