At London Bridge Therapy, our therapists are experts in treating burnout. We recognise that burnout is more than just fatigue; it’s a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It can profoundly affect your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Understanding burnout is the first step toward recovery, and our team is here to help you navigate this challenging experience.
What is Burnout?
Burnout is a specific type of stress that manifests when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet the demands of your job or personal life. It is often characterised by a sense of reduced accomplishment and can affect various aspects of your life, including your physical health, emotional resilience, and relationships.
How Burnout Affects Us
Burnout doesn’t just hinder performance at work; it can seep into every facet of your life. People experiencing burnout may suffer from:
- Physical Symptoms: Chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, and increased susceptibility to illnesses.
- Emotional Responses: Feelings of cynicism, irritability, and anxiety, which can make everyday interactions more challenging.
- Cognitive Impacts: Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, and maintaining motivation, which can lead to a decline in work performance and personal satisfaction.
- Social Withdrawal: Increased willingness to be around others leading to isolation from friends, family, and colleagues, which can exacerbate feelings of loneliness and hopelessness.
Signs of Burnout
Recognising the signs of burnout is crucial in taking the first steps toward recovery. Look for:
- Chronic Fatigue: Persistent exhaustion that doesn’t improve with rest.
- Decreased Performance: A noticeable drop in productivity and motivation.
- Detachment: A sense of disconnection from work and personal relationships.
- Emotional Strain: Heightened feelings of negativity, frustration, or helplessness.
- Physical Symptoms: Frequent headaches, stomach issues, or other stress-related ailments.
