What Is Burnout?

Signs, Symptoms & How Therapy Can Help

Burnout is more than just being tired — it's a profound state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Common burnout symptoms include:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Irritability and anger
  • Anxiousness
  • Emotional withdrawal
  • Loss of motivation
  • Physical issues like headaches or digestive problems

These symptoms are especially common in caregivers, neurodivergent folks, and parents.

Therapy sessions can help you:

  • Recognize the signs of burnout
  • Understand what burnout feels like
  • Learn how to deal with burnout and develop strategies for sustainable recovery
  • Build emotional resilience and restore your sense of well-being

Emotional Exhaustion, Chronic Fatigue, and Feeling Empty: Are These Signs of Burnout?

If you feel like you're constantly running on empty, it could be more than stress — it may be emotional burnout.

You may notice:

  • Persistent fatigue, even after rest
  • Difficulty focusing or caring
  • A short fuse and increased irritability
  • Lack of joy or connection in everyday life

Burnout therapy helps you reclaim your energy and reconnect with the things that once brought you meaning and joy.
