Burnout Psychotherapy: with Evidence-Based and Experiential Therapy

There is no one who has not experienced a period of feeling exhausted and disconnected from work. It is normal to feel disinterested in work or other life roles from time to time. However, burnout is different from these fleeting periods of fatigue. Over time, it can destroy life satisfaction and, when severe, can keep us stuck in a rut for long periods of time. We have all heard the term "Burnout," but what exactly is it? The word is used so often and so frequently, but sometimes people don't know much beyond an intuitive understanding of it. You may know that you have been "Not feeling well" lately, but how do you know if what you are experiencing is burnout? You may be wondering if this difficult period you're going through could be something else, like depression, anxiety, or plain old stress. In this chapter, we'll look at the signs and symptoms of burnout to help you figure out if you're experiencing it. We'll also look at the severity and progression of burnout over time. Recognizing burnout isn't always easy, even for those who experience it. I'm a clinical psychologist, and it took me several months to recognize the symptoms of burnout in myself.
