Helping to Reconnect Counselling Services

Our lives are busy and most people are not taking enough time to rest.  Burnout and stress are at all-time highs.  Burnout can happen to us when we experience a prolonged and ongoing period of stress.  Anybody and everybody is at risk of burnout at different points in their lives and careers, whether they’re parents struggling to balance work and family life or individuals who feel stretched to the max by the demands of their job and other aspects of life.

Look for the following signs if you feel you may be experiencing burnout:

• Feeling drained and unable to emotionally deal with problems around you, both professional and personal
• Alienating yourself from activities, distancing yourself emotionally, feeling numb about your work and environment
• Reduced performance at work, home or when caring for family members because you have no energy left for everyday tasks

What to do if you’re feeling tired, stressed and burned out?  Give yourself permission to recover and regenerate.  We have a duty to take care of ourselves first before we can be of service to others. 

Our counsellors will work with you to help you identify the causes and discover the strategies you need to feel your best and live an optimal life.
