Online therapy for burnout in New York
Reclaim control of your life and find balance.
You’re feeling exhausted. Like you’re just barely making it through the week… or even the day.
And I get it. That feeling of having so much on your plate that you can’t imagine taking the break you truly need. Then when you finally do get a break, you feel guilty for using it to rest. It’s all exhausting.
Working towards “success” while keeping up with everything and everyone can feel impossible. Especially here in New York. And even more as women.
It just never feels like you’re doing enough, but somehow it also feels like you’re always doing too much.
Working hard has served you well throughout your life. Maybe it’s even been a welcome distraction at times from all the things you’d rather not think about. But at the end of the day you don’t have the energy to show up for yourself or the people around you the way you’d really like to.
On the outside you seem successful and put together, but on the inside you feel like a mess.
You just can’t seem to fully enjoy your wins or believe that you’re truly successful, since the goal post for “success” keeps moving further and further. Then there’s the guilt for not being able to enjoy everything you have.
I can help you create healthy, sustainable habits and discover what a healthier work-life balance looks and feels like. Let’s work together to find more peace and connect with your sense of purpose and meaning.
Common Signs of Burnout
-
You often feel like everything is piling up and you can’t keep up. The tasks that once seemed manageable now feel insurmountable, leaving you in a constant state of stress and anxiety.
-
No matter how much you sleep or rest, you feel perpetually drained. This deep fatigue seeps into your daily life, making even simple tasks feel monumental and depleting your energy reserves.
-
You struggle to concentrate on tasks, often finding your mind wandering or getting easily distracted. What used to be straightforward work now feels like a mental slog, making it hard to stay productive.
-
You find yourself snapping at others over minor issues or feeling unusually on edge. This heightened irritability can strain relationships, as you’re more reactive and less patient than usual.
-
The enthusiasm you once had for your work or hobbies has dwindled. Activities that used to excite you now feel like chores, leading to a sense of disengagement and disinterest.
-
You neglect your own needs, pushing self-care to the bottom of your to-do list. This disregard for your well-being can in turn exacerbate feelings of burnout, making it hard to recharge and recover.
-
You notice that your output has significantly decreased. Tasks take longer to complete, and you often feel like you’re spinning your wheels without making real progress.
-
You find yourself putting off tasks, especially those that seem daunting or overwhelming. This delay can lead to a vicious cycle of stress as deadlines loom and responsibilities pile up.
-
You start pulling away from friends, family, and colleagues, preferring solitude over social interaction. This withdrawal can deepen feelings of loneliness and exacerbate burnout.
-
The thought of going to work or facing your responsibilities fills you with anxiety. You may feel a growing sense of dread each day, making it hard to find joy in your professional life.
-
You struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep, often ruminating over the day’s stresses. This lack of restful sleep can further contribute to feelings of fatigue and irritability, creating a tough cycle to break.
-
Physical symptoms manifest as your stress levels rise, leading to headaches, tight muscles, or gastrointestinal issues. These symptoms can be reminders of your emotional state, making it hard to find relief.
-
You feel adrift, questioning the meaning behind your work and daily activities. This loss of purpose can leave you feeling unfulfilled and disheartened, as you struggle to find joy in what you do.
-
You begin to doubt your abilities and feel like a fraud, even in areas where you once felt competent. This self-doubt can intensify under burnout, making you question your worth and capabilities.
-
Over time, you might start to feel a simmering resentment towards those you care for. This often happens when you feel taken for granted or when your own needs are consistently overlooked. It’s a sign that your kindness is being stretched too thin, and it’s essential to address these feelings before they fester.
