Burnout rarely happens overnight. More often, it creeps in slowly, until one day you wake up exhausted before your feet even touch the floor.
Unread texts start piling up, your patience with loved ones wears thin, and you begin dreading Monday morning more than ever. No amount of rest feels like enough to recharge. You're running on empty, trying to meet everyone else's expectations while feeling increasingly detached from your own life.
If you’re tired of just pushing through, I provide empathetic, relational burnout therapy in Kingston to help you step off the path of chronic exhaustion and find your way back to feeling like yourself.
Burnout often isn't just about workload. It's frequently tangled up with people-pleasing or a lifetime of overfunctioning around a difficult parent. If that resonates, those pages might name it more precisely.
Signs you might be experiencing burnout…
-
Dreading work or daily responsibilities that used to feel easy
-
Feeling more irritable or short-tempered with people you care about
-
Sleeping eight hours but still waking up feeling completely unrefreshed*
-
Losing motivation to make social plans
-
Feeling cynical, detached, or like you're just going through the motions
We can work together to understand the root causes of your burnout so you can set meaningful boundaries and build a lifestyle that actually feels sustainable.
*If not better explained by a medical concern.
What working together looks like
In our first session, we'll slow down and look at how burnout is currently affecting your energy, mood, and daily life.
Over our next few sessions, we will explore what contributed to this level of exhaustion—looking at work dynamics, relational history, or long-standing patterns of people-pleasing—and outline a clear path forward.
As we continue our work, you will gain practical, in-the-moment support to recognize early warning signs of overload, build confidence in setting firm boundaries, and protect your peace for the long term.
