What Is Burnout?
While it’s natural to feel some level of stress, staying in that state for a prolonged period of time can lead to symptoms of professional burnout. Emotional and mental exhaustion could start to impact not just your work life but your home and social life as well.
While you might think the answer is to blame yourself or work harder, you could risk damaging your career, relationships, or personal health if you don’t allow yourself to take a step back.

If You’re Struggling With Professional Burnout, You’re Not Alone
In 2019, the World Health Organization officially classified burnout as an occupational phenomenon. It falls under the umbrella of problems related to employment and unemployment. Symptoms range from feelings of depletion to increased mental distance from one’s job.
Risk factors that contribute to burnout include long-term job stress, lack of control, work overload, lack of community, and conflicting values.
Thankfully, a therapist can help you recover from work stress and burnout and create a meaningful life and career that fills you up instead of depletes you.
