Psychological help for burnout

Burnout does not come from laziness. It comes from living too long without recovery: work, home, caring, war, emigration.

What is it?
Burnout is emotional exhaustion, cynicism or detachment from the work, and a drop in felt effectiveness. It is a system signal, not a verdict that you are weak.

Signs

  • Indifference where you used to care
  • Irritability with colleagues and family
  • Worse sleep and focus
  • A sense that “I am gone”
  • Body fatigue a weekend cannot fix

Causes

  • Chronic overload
  • No boundaries
  • Responsibility for everyone
  • Lack of recognition
  • Long environmental stress

How therapy can help

We look for where you disappear into a function. We restore the right to a limit, rest, and “enough” — without shame.

Therapy methods

  • Gestalt work with boundaries
  • Contact with bodily fatigue
  • Separating your needs from others’ expectations
  • Meaning without self-sacrifice

Frequently asked questions

Are burnout and depression the same?

No. They can overlap, but burnout is more tied to role and load. Lasting emptiness and hopelessness need a wider assessment.

Will a holiday fix it?

Briefly, yes. If a week later you are back in the same regime, you need a different way of living, not only sleep.

I help others. Is it normal to feel empty?

Yes. This is common burnout in people who hold others. Exhaustion is not proof that you are bad.

Do I have to quit my job?

Not always. First we look at limits, meaning, and recovery. The job decision is yours, not a therapist homework task.
