Being burnt out in your personal and professional life can be extremely difficult on your mind and body.

Burn out can show up differently for everyone. Sometimes we only feel burnt out in certain places, like work. Other times, we can feel it in every area of our life. One of the ways burn out comes up, is if we are in a cycle of stress for too long.

Common questions about Therapy for Burn out

  • Burnout is when there is too much stress for too long. We can feel emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted.

    Burnout is a human reaction that can make us feel tired, lonely (even when we are with people), overwhelmed, stuck, and emotionally drained.

    Sometimes burnout comes from family, friends, and/or personal and professional commitments like work.

  • Burnout looks different for everyone.

    Here are some signs and things to think about.

    Burnout can look like…

    • Feeling low energy most of the day

    • Finding it hard to complete tasks because you’re tired

    • Wanting to isolate and cancel plans, because things feel difficult

    • Feeling stuck and unable to get out of cycles of overwhelm

    • Finding it difficult to get through the day due to feeling overwhelmed, irritated, or exhausted

  • Each person gets to decide what is considered stressful. What may burn out one person may not burn out another. That is okay.

    Our past experiences and trauma histories determine what we deem stressful or triggering. These stressors over time impact burn out.

    We do see high rates of burn out come from jobs that have a high volume of demands. This could be demands to complete certain projects or tasks on time, helping professions (whether that be helping people, animals, or our environment), or jobs that require us to be hyper alert and aware.

  • Sessions are organized around your personality. Some clients like more structure and others prefer flexibility.

    For clients who are more structured we decide on a session format together. Some clients come in and they know exactly what they want to talk about, they have specific goals in mind, and a layout feels safe to them. In cases like this, sessions are more organized and can include homework if that feels right.

    For clients who like flexibility and want to process what is top of mind, sessions are kept open so that there is room for whatever feels most pressing.

    There is also room for a mixture of both. If you have something in mind that you want to focus on, wonderful. If you want a more open session, great!

    Sessions are typically 50 minutes long.

    80 minute sessions are available upon request.
