What is burnout?
Burnout is a state of chronic physical and emotional exhaustion, often caused by prolonged stress at work or in other areas of life. It typically involves three components: exhaustion, cynicism or detachment, and a reduced sense of accomplishment. Burnout can affect your mood, motivation, relationships, and physical health.
How can therapy help with burnout?
Therapy can help you understand the factors that led to burnout and develop strategies for recovery. A therapist may work with you on setting boundaries, managing stress, addressing perfectionism, and rebuilding a sustainable relationship with work and life. Therapy can also help you reconnect with what matters to you beyond productivity.
What should I expect when working on burnout in therapy?
Your therapist will likely explore what's been draining you and how burnout is showing up in your life. Sessions may involve identifying unhelpful patterns, developing coping strategies, and making practical changes to protect your energy. Recovery from burnout takes time, and your therapist will help you pace yourself through the process.
How do I find a therapist for burnout?
On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who work with burnout. Each therapist has an intro video so you can get a sense of their style before booking. Credentials are verified during onboarding, and you can book your first session directly online. Book a free consultation to get started.
Is burnout therapy right for me?
If you're feeling exhausted despite rest, disconnected from things you used to enjoy, or struggling to meet demands that once felt manageable, therapy can help. Burnout often requires more than a vacation to resolve—it benefits from deeper reflection and sustainable changes. You don't have to push through alone.
