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 other areas of one’s life. Symptoms of burnout can include exhaustion, challenges with attention/focus, and reduced productivity. Through treatment, we can identify where your energy is being directed and re-strategize how to maximize your functioning in other areas of your life outside of work.
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.
If you’re finding work-based stress and burnout to be significantly impacting your daily functioning, job performance, or overall well-being, it may be beneficial to engage in treatment to address these concerns. Book now if you feel like you may be experiencing burnout or work stress!
