About burnout therapy
Burnout has distinct features from depression — though they often co-occur. It is characterized by exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced efficacy, typically tied to sustained overwork or chronic devaluation. ACT, behavioural activation, and values clarification work are commonly effective. Therapists who specialize in burnout will help you identify the structural changes needed, not just teach coping strategies.
What to look for: Look for therapists who understand the difference between burnout and depression, and who will work on sustainable change rather than just symptom management.
