BURNOUT

Burnout treatment involves a holistic approach, with counseling, physical therapy, prana therapies and alternative medicines all playing a crucial part in long-term recovery.

Burnout is a state of extreme emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when the pressures and demands of life are greater than a person’s level of resilience, and results in feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet and keep up with one’s obligations.

The most common burnout symptoms are mental and physical depletion, low energy and chronic fatigue, difficulty sleeping and disrupted sleep, poor concentration and memory, difficulty making decisions, disinterest in things we normally enjoy, and general apathy. Physical signs of burnout include aches and pains, dizziness and nausea, loss of appetite, headaches, weak digestion, and a general sense of fragility. In spite of these tell-tale signs, burnout is often not recognized by sufferers until they reach a crisis point.
