Therapy for Burnout
Burnout is a common issue many individuals face due to chronic stress, overwhelming responsibilities, and personal challenges.
It doesn’t have to stay this way.
Therapy can help you regain emotional balance, restore your sense of well-being, and build resilience to prevent future burnout.
If you're experiencing burnout, we can work together towards recovery so you can find a renewed energy in your life.
Take a brief self-assessment:
How therapy can help with burnout.
Therapy can be instrumental in addressing burnout by providing a safe space to explore the underlying causes of exhaustion and stress.
Through therapy, you can develop a better understanding of your boundaries, learn healthier coping mechanisms, and gain insight into the thought patterns contributing to burnout. I can provide guidance in setting realistic goals, prioritizing self-care, and making meaningful lifestyle changes to prevent burnout in the future.
Using evidence-based treatment approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and exposure-based treatments, you can learn to implement helpful approaches in your life to directly address your burnout.
In therapy, I help people struggling with burn-out with the following:
Realistic Goals
We’ll take a good look at what’s contributing to your burnout and what goals around this could look like. Can we change certain aspects of your situation? Do others need to be accepted?
Boundaries
Sometimes we have to say no, otherwise we run the risk of depletion by saying yes to everything. This often involves learning to tolerate discomfort while using clear communication.
Self-Care
It doesn’t fix all of the problems, and self-care is absolutely essential, including sleep, eating, resting. We can consider realistic plans for what this looks like in your life.
