Therapy for burnout in Los Angeles
Are you just going through the motions?
You feel like you’re constantly hustling. You’ve always gone 100 miles per hour and now suddenly you feel like you’ve hit a brick wall. You wake up dreading the day and struggle to get out of bed. You try to get your sh*t together for your loved ones, for work, or other obligations, but you don’t feel all there. You feel like you can’t connect to anyone or anything anymore. You have some waves of anger and sadness but you mostly feel nothing. Even food doesn’t taste the same anymore. But you just keep going because you have to.
When you wake up, dread washes over you, and you don’t have the motivation to get out of bed. You drag yourself out of bed and now you’re on auto-pilot.
Meetings pass without you really absorbing what's being said, and yet, you feel a little irritated.
Chatting with colleagues, you once cared for, now seems like a chore and you feel disconnected from them. You used to be able to connect and support one another but now you feel that it’s too exhausting to even listen.
When one thing goes wrong at work, you’re filled with dread and anger.
You still try to push through and complete your tasks and you repeat the same cycle again and again.
You think maybe it’s just a hard moment at work but even when you get home or try to connect with friends and family, you don’t feel all there.
You can tell loved ones want to connect with you but it feels too exhausting to spend the emotional energy. Nothing feels the same anymore. You don’t feel the same anymore.
