What is burnout?
Burnout is what happens when you give and give — to your job, your family, your community, your calling until there's nothing left. It's more than being tired. Burnout is a state of chronic exhaustion that can leave you feeling cynical, disconnected, and unable to care about the things that once mattered deeply to you. It often shows up in high-achieving, deeply caring people, the ones who never stop, who carry too much, who believe rest is something they have to earn. Therapy for burnout isn't just about slowing down. It's about understanding why you pushed so hard, what you've lost in the process, and how to rebuild in a way that's actually sustainable.
Common signs:
Physical and emotional exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix
