Before going much further - lets start with a definition.
What is burn out?
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. (https://www.helpguide.org/articles/stress/burnout-prevention-and-recovery.htm).
For some it looks like a time in our day or week or year or life that you were super stressed, irritable, exhausted, unhappy, confused on the next steps, unsure, etc. Maybe it lasted a day but likely it lasted longer.

I specialize in working with individuals aged 18-35. Some presenting concerns that I most commonly work with are stress, relationship issues, difficulty saying “no” to others, difficulties recognizing emotions and emotionally connecting to others, anger, and intimacy issues, among others. I am trained to help you become more aware of your emotional responses to these challenges and help you recognize problematic relational patterns and new ways to cope. This awareness will create new opportunities for learning more adaptive ways of relating to others and coping with life’s stressors.
