Causes of Burnout
We often hear the term burnout when talking about work. However, anyone who feels overworked and undervalued is at risk for burnout. Some causes of burnout can include having little or no control over your work, feeling underappreciated, working in a high pressure environment, not having enough time to socialize or relax, having a lack of close relationships, not getting enough sleep, or taking on too many responsibilities. Additionally, several personality traits can place individuals at risk for burnout including being a
perfectionist, having a pessimistic view of the world, having a need to be in control, or being a high-achiever.
How is burnout treated?
Treatment of burnout focuses mostly on reducing
stress and learning
stress management techniques. Additionally, learning self-care strategies and accessing social support are crucial for reducing the impact of stress in one’s life.
