Therapy for Stress & Burnout Recovery

As a therapist, I help many successful, high-achieving clients with imposter syndrome, stress management, and burnout recovery.

While many of my clients often look like they have it all together from the outside, they often suffer deeply from constantly feeling strung out, overwhelmed and on edge, on top of the type of exhaustion, emotional depletion, and utter fatigue a good night’s sleep never seems to fix. While traits like perfectionism, workaholism, and even people-pleasing have helped them get where they are today, deep down they hide that they’re unhappy and constantly worried about not being good enough.

If this sounds like you, it’s important to first understand the difference between burnout and stress:

Take a brief self-assessment:

Signs of Stress:

• Feelings of anxiety and overwhelm that often lead being rushed, reactive, over-engaged

• Physical symptoms such as tight muscles, tension headaches, gastrointestinal issues, and other unidentified health issues

• Insomnia and other sleep problems

• Frequent feelings of exhaustion from loss of energy

• Self-neglect and lack of boundaries

Signs of Burnout:

• Increased feelings of imposter syndrome and negative thoughts about oneself, one’s work, and one’s job

• Loss of motivation, emotional detachment, and disengagement at work

• Fatigue, brain fog and emotional depletion

• Increased withdrawal and isolation from others

• Increased anxiety and dread related to work

• Negative impact on workplace performance

Find a Burnout Therapist

While too much stress can leave you without much of a life in and of itself, enough accumulation of chronic stress over time often inevitably leads to burnout. Yet because a constant state of stress has become so normalized in workplaces today, it can be quite easy to overlook until it’s too late.

Whether you’re a corporate professional, healthcare professional, helping professional, or even parent, working with a therapist can be a great way to learn better stress management, find a greater sense of self-care and work-life balance, and heal from burnout.
