Work stress and burnout

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by continued and excessive stress. It often results from overwork and can impact various aspects of a one’s life. Symptoms of burnout can include exhaustion, challenges with attention/focus, and reduced productivity.

Addressing work stress and burnout often involves a combination of practical adjustments and therapeutic strategies. Therapeutic strategies to address burnout include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

    • CBT helps identify, change, and rationalize negative thought patterns and behaviors related to work stress.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):

    • ACT encourages acceptance of thoughts and feelings rather than resisting against them, while committing to actions that align with personal values.
