Stress & Burnout
Chronic stress can leave you feeling like you're always "on."
You may feel overwhelmed by responsibilities, have difficulty relaxing, become more irritable, or find yourself feeling depleted even when you're getting things done.
Sometimes there is simply too much on your plate. Other times, the problem is how you're responding to demands that don't seem to let up.
When Stress Becomes Too Much
Stress can affect your:
-
Mood and emotional well-being
-
Sleep
-
Concentration
-
Relationships
-
Energy and motivation
-
Ability to enjoy your life
Burnout can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, detached, and like you have very little left to give.
Learning to Manage Stress Differently
Therapy can help you identify what's driving your stress and determine what can—and cannot—be changed.
We may work on:
-
Setting boundaries
-
Changing unhelpful thought patterns
-
Managing competing demands
-
Developing more effective coping strategies
-
Reducing physical and emotional stress reactions
-
Making changes that better align your daily life with your priorities
I may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and practical stress-management strategies depending on your needs.
You don't have to keep pushing through until you're completely depleted. If stress or burnout is affecting your life, I offer a brief, free consultation.
