Understanding burnout
Burnout develops gradually when chronic stress goes unaddressed. It's characterized by three key dimensions: overwhelming exhaustion, feelings of cynicism or detachment, and a sense of ineffectiveness or lack of accomplishment.
While burnout is often associated with work, it can stem from any area of life where demands consistently outpace resources — caregiving, parenting, chronic health issues, or trying to meet impossible standards in multiple domains at once.
Recovery from burnout typically requires more than rest alone. Working with a therapist can help you address underlying patterns, set healthier boundaries, and rebuild your capacity for engagement and meaning.
