“It is interdependence and nurturing relationships which truly sustain us.”
~ Soraya Chemaly, The Resilience Myth
Burnout has multiple causes, including societal, workplace, and personal factors. Grind culture and systemic inequities contribute a great deal to burnout and must be addressed alongside promoting wellness at the individual level.
The research shows that social connections, empathy, and practical support are invaluable in both prevention and recovery.
Holistic burnout counselling prioritizes risk factors beyond the personal, recognizing that workers’ rights, social support, and a healthy work-life balance are keys to recovery. Reach out if you are struggling. Help is available.
COUNSELLOR BURNOUT + VICARIOUS TRAUMA
Practicing therapy can feel more like a calling than a job, but this devotion can come at a cost. The road to counsellor burnout is paved with good intentions. Dedicated early-career therapists are most at risk.
Highly empathic, conscientious. Always available. Until the well runs dry. Leaving you emotionally exhausted and praying for cancellations. Overwhelmed by the pain you’re witness to.
You are not a failure for struggling with burnout. Many of us have been there, including me. You are not alone.
I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from UBC and a decade of experience with burnout counselling and prevention. I balance mindfulness, body-based and heart-centered therapies with attention to unhealthy workplace factors, to help therapists create rewarding and sustainable therapy careers.
Recover Your Vitality, Balance And Joy
While empathy is central to good therapy, empathy also requires boundaries and natural limits. Explore ways to protect yourself while offering compassionate care to your clients.
Most of us make plans without enough attention to the impact on our bodies and psyches, our unrealistic expectations eventually taking a toll.
Combine your good intentions with good boundaries and realistic planning to prioritize your wellness and career longevity.
