Burnout recovery
“Burnout is the result of having become better able to hear our soul but not yet daring to listen. Burnout demands that we listen.”
Dr Dina Glouberman (psychotherapist and author of “The Joy of Burnout”)
Through my many years of work and personal experience I have developed an interest and expertise in all things burnout. Burnout, in a nutshell, is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. What separates burnout from good old plain exhaustion is that it is normally accompanied by a lack of meaning in our lives. Problems we encounter seem impossible to overcome and things can feel quite despairing and hopeless.
How therapy can help
I firmly believe that burnout is a warning that some aspects of our lives aren’t quite working as they should. Something is out of balance. It’s a sign for us to stop, assess, reflect and take action (easier said than done I know)! And that’s where therapy can greatly help with burnout recovery.
The early signs
Burnout doesn’t happen overnight. There are some early warning signs which if paid attention to could greatly help us limit any further personal distress.
