Burnout: how to recognize it and recover

Burnout is a state of physical and emotional exhaustion caused by chronic stress, usually related to work. It sets in gradually and often goes unnoticed until the body asks for a break.

Warning signs

• Extreme tiredness that rest does not resolve.
• Distance and cynicism toward work.
• Decline in concentration and sense of accomplishment.
• Irritability, insomnia and frequent physical symptoms.

Paths to recovery

Recovery involves recognizing limits, reviewing your relationship with work, and rebuilding space for rest and pleasure. It is not about "producing more", but about caring for the person who produces.

Rest is not a reward for having worked; it is part of a sustainable life.

In therapy, we look at the patterns that led to exhaustion and design together strategies that fit your reality, with warmth and without guilt.
