Burnout Therapy in Toronto

Burnout is a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion. It is a reaction to chronic stress or when we are working too hard without taking care of ourselves. It is characterized by feelings of exhaustion, frustration, and inefficacy.

Burnout can be caused by any number of factors, but there are three main categories: environmental, organizational, and personal.

Environmental factors include:

• Long hours at the office
• Lack of control over one’s schedule
• Having to work with difficult clients

Organizational factors include:

• Lack of control over one’s work environment
• Feeling undervalued or not being listened to

Personal factors include:

• Social pressures or family pressures
• Financial difficulties
