Psychotherapy for burnout, emotional exhaustion, and psychological distress.
A space to understand what is happening when I am left exhausted, estranged, depleted, and uncertain.
The term burnout is used to describe the ways in which prolonged work-related stress can affect psychological well-being. Occupational burnout is characterised by emotional and physical exhaustion, increasing psychological distance, and a diminished sense of professional efficacy and accomplishment.
Burnout is one of the major psychosocial risks in contemporary working life. It may be experienced as profound fatigue, depletion of energy and motivation, reduced effectiveness, and growing detachment, negativity, or cynicism towards work, others, and one’s professional role.
What is happening to me now?
What we feel is not always clear. Many people continue to work and care for others while inwardly remaining depleted, under pressure, or detached from themselves. Sometimes burnout develops gradually and may go unnoticed for some time. Alongside individual factors, its development may also be influenced by external conditions related to the organisation of work, relationships, and professional roles.
