Burnout

If you struggle with burnout, you may experience feelings such as exhaustion, detached emotions, hopelessness, and disengagement. Additionally you may feel an emotional toll, depression, and a loss of motivation. These feelings are not normal for you and your tolerance for them is gone.

I work with many working professionals managing challenging work environments, compassion fatigue and burnout.

Burnout can lead you to feel like you’re constantly treading water. You’re trying so hard, yet continue to feel stuck & exhausted. I’m here to help you find relief from burnout & build strategies to support yourself from getting stuck there in the future.

Burnout is a distinctly work-related phenomenon that can be related to depression, anxiety, and other conditions, but is often overlooked or misunderstood. While working at an organization suffering from a high level of employee burnout, I delved into the research of this topic and created an initiative to identify, measure, prevent, and treat burnout. In our work together, we can consider if this is an issue in your life and I can give you tools to address it.

Burn Out Counseling helps you rise above your challenges and start moving towards your ideal life with less less confusion and more confidence. You will adopt the new mindset you need to prioritize yourself so you can take care of you and know what you want and have the confidence to go after it. I've helped adults, whose life is "perfect on paper" but know something is missing, to identify what is holding them back from living a life they love. They make BIG knowing that they are not "too much"

Usually we choose our jobs because we enjoy something about it. Burnout takes that joy, and dulls it, until we lose our passion and drive, and just feel drained and exhausted. It's a slow process, that leaves us suddenly realizing we have to change something, but left unsure what happened and what to change. When we work on burnout through therapy, we explore what's causing this feeling, and how we can create changes in meaningful and long-term ways.

Burnout is a mental, physical, and emotional state that looks like a mix of depression and anxiety. Some of the most common forms of burnout are pandemic fatigue, work burnout, parenting burnout, caregiving fatigue, and compassion fatigue. I am trained in multiple therapies and approaches to support burnout recovery and burnout resistance.

I have many clients who experience emotional numbing, disconnection, and overwhelm due to the demanding nature of their lives in and outside of work. Let's work together to examine the frameworks you function in: both internally in your mind as well as externally (the culture of your work/family). We can reconnect you to your true self and your values, allowing for a greater sense of freedom and peace.

Burnout is the perfect storm of inner needs and external demands, resulting in anxiety and depression. In 2013 I began supporting others in their quest to reignite the creativity and resilience that burnout scorched, and I’d love to help you shine brightly again too. See www.meganvanmeter.com for more info and hope to light your way. You don’t have to go through burnout alone in the dark; I’m here to help you create a better outcome.

Experiencing a chronic high-level of unmanaged stress in your workplace or occupation (think balance in home/family management) is unfortunately not uncommon. Fortunately, if you allow yourself the time to look at the big picture with me, I know we can find some changes to make for your life to feel better overall. Sometimes this is in the small changes, and other times in much bigger ones, which might have felt too overwhelming before but I hope to support you in making it more realistic.

Ever feel like everything is just too much? Not getting as much done as you used to? Nothing feels worth it anymore? You may be experiencing burnout. Recognizing what's happening is a critical first step, and then working on balancing work and life--and giving yourself permission to do that--is important. We may also explore boundary setting and other workplace skills, as well as taking time for yourself: therapy is that first step.

I'll help you figure out how to be resentful about work again, leave the stress of the job at the office, and be present with your partner so you can finally start to enjoy your life.

I treat a number of fellow clinicians and medical professionals who are experiencing compassion fatigue. I also work with those in creative fields who are experiencing professional burnout and blocks.

Managing and recovering from stressors that lead to feelings of decreased motivation and disconnection from the self; practicing effective self-care and finding ways to relax both physically and mentally.
