Burnout is more than being tired — it's the result of prolonged stress without enough recovery. Recognising the signs early makes it easier to change course.
These articles look at burnout (including the high-functioning kind), imposter syndrome, the inner critic and the pressure to always be doing more.
If work stress is affecting your sleep, health or relationships, individual therapy can help. Organisations looking to support their teams can read about Vita Mea for Organisations.
These articles are general information from Vita Mea practitioners — not a diagnosis or personal advice. If you need support, contact the clinic.
