occupational stress and burnout
Occupational stress and/or burnout is the natural consequence of a misalignment between your values, character or capacity, and the values or conditions of a particular organization, job or role. When a job or role demands something more, or something different, from that which we are able to give in a sustainable way, it is inevitable that we become depleted; sometimes to the extent that our mental, emotional, physical and/or spiritual health gives way.
​
Addressing occupational stress and burnout essentially involves:
-
developing, or revisiting, your awareness and understanding of your values, character and capacity
-
realistically reviewing the requirements of your work or role
-
identifying what needs to change for you to build a more harmonious relationship between who you are and what you do, and
-
creating and sustaining the necessary changes.
Ingrained beliefs and patterns of behaviour are difficult to see, let alone shift. Working with a supportive and objective professional to counsel and coach you through this process is a great way to get serious about your own self-care. You can find your way through burnout and into renewed and sustainable health and wellbeing. Reach out now for a free consult conversation, or simply book a session here.
