Stress Management & Burnout Therapy in Toronto
What is burnout?
Burnout is a long-term state of emotional, physical, and mental weariness brought on by too much stress. It usually develops slowly and is typically associated with:
– Workplace stress
– Long-term stress without enough time to recover
– Exposure to trauma or significant events
– Long-term masking in people with neurodivergent brains
Unlike everyday stress, burnout doesn’t go away with a weekend off or a vacation. It can impact your mental and physical health, relationships, and work performance over time.
What does Burnout Feel like?
Burnout can look and feel different for everyone, but a lot of individuals say it is:
– Always being tired, even after getting enough sleep
– Not feeling anything (numbness)
– Feeling detached
– Getting angry, frustrated, or shutting down
– Trouble focusing, brain fog, or forgetting things
– Not wanting to do anything or not knowing why
– Feeling stuck, hopeless, or overwhelmed
Burnout typically happens alongside anxiety, depression, or physical symptoms.
