Throughout our lives, we can experience periods of intense stress and burnout. Maybe you feel that life cannot continue at the pace or trajectory it is currently on, or maybe you feel the need to create change but can’t figure out exactly how. There comes a point in which it becomes incredibly difficult to keep pushing through, ignoring stress, and telling ourselves that everything is okay. If this sounds like a familiar experience, you may be experiencing burnout in one or more areas of your life.
Some additional features of chronic stress and burnout include:
-
A constant feeling of exhaustion or tiredness.
-
Disruptions to your sleep, either getting too much or too little.
-
Feeling consistent stress, anger, sadness, and/or irritability.
-
Physical ailments, such as headaches, body tension, stomach/digestive issues, and frequent illnesses.
-
Impacts on your professional, personal, romantic, and familial relationships.
Fortunately, mental health therapy for stress and burnout has been supported as a very effective form of treatment. You and your therapist will collaborate on a plan to create positive and meaningful change in your life. Treatment can include but is not limited to, exploring and processing emotions, discussing and modifying negative thought patterns, implementing positive methods of dealing with negative emotions, and changing our actions to improve our relationship with ourselves and others.
