Therapy

Stress is a normal and natural response to a perceived threat or challenge and is a common experience for many people. Stress can be caused by various factors, such as work, finances, relationships, health issues, and major life changes. When stress becomes chronic or prolonged, it can lead to burnout, which is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged exposure to stress. Burnout can have negative effects on mental and physical health, including symptoms of anxiety, depression, physical illness, and difficulty functioning in daily life. Burnout can also cause individuals to feel disconnected from their work or activities they once enjoyed and may lead to a sense of cynicism or negativity towards their environment or relationships. It’s important to seek support and take steps to manage stress and prevent burnout to maintain overall health and well-being.
