Stress is the body's natural response to challenges and demands. While some stress can be motivating, chronic stress can lead to various health problems and decreased quality of life.

Burnout goes beyond regular stress—it's a state of complete physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged exposure to emotionally demanding situations. People experiencing burnout often feel depleted, cynical, and ineffective in their daily activities.

Stress and Burnout Therapy

In today's fast-paced world, stress and burnout have become increasingly common experiences. Whether stemming from demanding work environments, family responsibilities, academic pressures, or life transitions, chronic stress can significantly impact both mental and physical health. Burnout, a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion, often develops when stress becomes overwhelming and unmanageable over time.
