Common questions about burnout recovery therapy
How do I know if I'm burned out or just tired?
Tiredness improves with rest; burnout doesn't. Burnout shows up as exhaustion, cynicism or detachment, and a sense that nothing you do matters — and a weekend off barely touches it.
How long does it take to recover from burnout?
Recovery often takes several months and depends on whether the conditions causing it change. Therapy helps you recover energy and make changes so burnout doesn't return.
Can therapy help with work burnout if I can't quit my job?
Yes. We work on boundaries, workload conversations, recovery habits, and the perfectionism or over-responsibility that often keep people stuck.
Is burnout the same as depression?
They overlap but aren't the same. Burnout is tied to chronic stress, often at work, while depression affects every area of life. An assessment can help clarify which you're dealing with.
