Burnout

In our modern, capitalist society, most of us have been taught to work hard at all cost. Sometimes the cost is our physical & mental health & the health of our relationships. I am skilled at supporting clients in allowing in the nourishment of rest, & exploring the patterns that are in the way of saying “no” setting boundaries and prioritizing your own well being. Caring for ourselves so that we participate in life in a way that’s sustainable for us takes practice.

Once we enter adulthood, we are continually preparing for the next stage of life. This leads to a change in values and dip in life satisfaction. Happiness isn't tied to our external circumstances, yet we still find ourselves striving to meet some unmeetable goal. This leads us to be frustrated achievers who feel guilty or experience malaise despite good jobs, good families, and stable income. Acceptance, commitment, and action to change can help us escape the happiness trap.
