Burnout Recovery

Rebuild your energy, purpose, and wellbeing

Understanding Burnout

Burnout isn't just being tired—it's a state of chronic physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It often develops gradually, sneaking up on you until you realize you're running on empty with nothing left to give.

Burnout can affect anyone: employees, parents, caregivers, students. Recovery requires more than a vacation. Therapy helps you understand what led to burnout, make sustainable changes, and rebuild a life that supports your wellbeing.

Burnout Recovery FAQs

How is burnout different from regular stress?

Stress is a response to temporary demands—you feel pressure but can still function. Burnout is chronic exhaustion where you feel empty, hopeless, and unable to cope. While stress feels like drowning in responsibilities, burnout feels like being completely dried up.

Will I have to quit my job to recover from burnout?

Not necessarily. While some situations do require significant changes, many people recover while staying in their current roles by making targeted adjustments. Therapy helps you identify what needs to change and how to make sustainable shifts.

How long does burnout recovery take?

Recovery time varies based on severity and circumstances. Some people start feeling better within weeks of making changes, while severe burnout may take months. The key is making sustainable changes, not just quick fixes.

Can burnout cause depression or anxiety?

Yes, burnout often leads to or overlaps with depression and anxiety. The chronic stress and exhaustion of burnout can trigger mental health conditions. We address the full picture.

What about caregiver or parental burnout?

Burnout isn't just about work. Parents, caregivers, and others with demanding roles can experience severe burnout. Our parenting support and therapy address these specific challenges.

Do I need to learn to set better boundaries?

Often, yes. Difficulty setting boundaries is a common factor in burnout. Therapy helps you understand why boundaries are hard and develop skills to protect your time and energy.

Do you offer telehealth for burnout recovery?

Yes! We offer virtual therapy sessions throughout Arizona and Utah. Telehealth can be especially helpful when you're too exhausted to add another trip to your schedule.
