WHAT DOES BURNOUT FEEL LIKE?

While specific symptoms of burnout may look different for individual people, generally they include some symptoms in the following categories:

EMOTIONAL SYMPTOMS

Emotional symptoms of burnout can include feelings of exhaustion, detachment, and cynicism towards work. Individuals may experience heightened irritability, mood swings, or a sense of overwhelm. They may also struggle with feelings of inefficacy and a lack of motivation or enthusiasm for tasks they once found fulfilling. These emotional experiences can significantly impact overall well-being and interfere with daily functioning.

COGNITIVE SYMPTOMS

Cognitive symptoms of burnout often involve difficulties with concentration, memory, and decision-making. Individuals may experience persistent negative thoughts about work, self-doubt, and a sense of disillusionment. They may also struggle to maintain focus or find it challenging to complete tasks efficiently. These cognitive symptoms can impair performance and productivity, leading to further stress and frustration.

PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS

The physical symptoms of burnout can manifest as fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, and changes in sleep patterns. Individuals may also experience gastrointestinal issues, such as stomach pain or nausea, and may be more susceptible to illness due to weakened immune function. These physical symptoms reflect the toll that chronic stress and exhaustion can take on the body, impacting overall health and well-being.

BEHAVIORAL SYMPTOMS

Behavioral symptoms of burnout may include withdrawal from social interactions, decreased productivity, and increased conflict in personal and professional relationships. Individuals may also exhibit signs of procrastination, avoidance of responsibilities, or disengagement from activities they once enjoyed. These symptoms can strain relationships and lead to feelings of isolation, further exacerbating burnout.

Live your life in balance.

Burnout is a prevalent phenomenon affecting individuals across various professions and industries worldwide. According to recent studies, a significant percentage of employees report experiencing symptoms of burnout, including feelings of exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy. The demanding nature of modern work environments, coupled with factors such as high workload, job insecurity, and lack of work-life balance, contribute to the widespread occurrence of burnout. Addressing this issue is crucial for promoting employee well-being and organizational success.

DON'T LET WORRY GET IN YOUR WAY

I don’t have time for counseling; work is too demanding. We definitely hear that. Ironically, continuing to push through burnout can make you less effective in the long run. A career counselor can help you develop strategies to manage your time better and improve your work-life balance. Starting therapy now can help you understand and manage your time, feelings, and coping mechanisms tailored to your unique situation. 

​

I fear I’ll have to make big changes if I go to therapy. While some changes may be necessary, a career counselor will help you explore options at your own pace. The goal is to find a path that aligns with your values and goals, not to force you into drastic decisions. Remember, you are in the driver's seat of your therapy.

​

I work in a highly specialized field and I’m worried about confidentiality while sharing my workplace issues. Our specialized career counselors adhere to strict confidentiality standards, ensuring that your discussions remain private. This safe space allows you to explore your feelings and options openly without fear. Your career counselor would not be able to even confirm or deny whether you were in treatment without expressed written consent from you.
