Therapy for Burnout?

You’re used to managing a lot—demanding work, responsibilities, and people counting on you. But lately, you may notice a deeper kind of exhaustion that rest alone can’t fix. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s more than stress, it might be burnout.

What Burnout Feels Like

Burnout is more than being tired. It shows up as:

  • Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with sleep or time off.

  • Loss of motivation—tasks feel draining instead of energizing.

  • Irritability or cynicism toward work or relationships.

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions.

  • Disconnection—feeling numb or withdrawn from others.

  • Physical symptoms like headaches, disrupted sleep, or frequent illness.

These signs don’t mean you’re failing. They mean your system is overwhelmed.

Why High-Functioning People Miss It

Many professionals and leaders overlook burnout because pushing through has always worked—until it doesn’t. Ignoring burnout can quietly erode your health, relationships, and sense of self.

When to See a Therapist

It may be time to seek support if:

  • You’ve tried your usual strategies but they’re no longer working.

  • Burnout is affecting your productivity, health, or relationships.

  • You feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected from your purpose.

Therapy creates space to step off the treadmill, understand what’s driving the exhaustion, and rebuild in a sustainable way.

Therapy for Burnout

In sessions, we work on:

  • Identifying the patterns that keep you in overdrive.

  • Learning to recognize stress signals before they become overwhelming.

  • Reconnecting with rest, pleasure, and purpose.

  • Creating balance without losing your edge.

Clients often describe therapy as the one place they don’t have to perform—where they can finally exhale.
