Work Burnout Q & A
What is work burnout?
Work burnout is mental and physical exhaustion caused by prolonged stress at your job. You feel overwhelmed and emotionally drained, unable to cope with work or whatever’s responsible for your stress.
Burnout can make you lose interest in what used to inspire you, so you may lack motivation. You might also experience effects such as:
- Not caring anymore
- Feeling you’re losing emotional control
- Pessimistic attitude
- Trouble starting tasks
- Lack of energy
- Fall in productivity
- Difficulty concentrating
- Disillusionment
- Sleeplessness
- Frequent headaches
- Digestive upsets
- Detachment
- Loss of empathy
- Feeling like a failure
When you experience work burnout, you can’t perform to the same standards and can hit a mental brick wall you find impossible to overcome.
Who experiences work burnout?
Burnout could affect anyone who’s under constant, severe stress. Careers that have high rates of work burnout include:
- Caregivers
- Therapists
- Counselors
- Clergy
- Health professionals
- Doctors
- Lawyers
- Accountants
- IT professionals
- Bankers
- Stockbrokers
- Financial advisors
Professional burnout is alarmingly high because the corporate world is an extremely stressful environment. The money you might make from a high-powered job can’t bring back the years of life lost to anxiety, worry, and fear, so consider making changes.
At Empower You Mental Health & Wellness, Candice encourages people to stop putting their health at stake for a career and wealth. Instead, patients learn to balance career success and personal happiness.
How is work burnout treated?
Candice specializes in treating stress and burnout using a holistic approach. This involves identifying and addressing everything in your life that causes or worsens burnout.
Talk therapy is a vital aspect of work burnout recovery. Techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) help you challenge negative self-talk, learn better coping strategies, and approach problems realistically. Psychoanalytic therapies look at the experiences and problems you have that can lead to stress build-up and burnout.
Candice also looks at areas of your life that have a significant impact on general health, such as diet. She offers nutrition counseling and recommends supplements to ensure you give your body the fuel and micronutrients it needs.
