Understanding Burnout
Recovering from burnout and building sustainable wellbeing.
-
Burnout Defined: Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress.
-
Three Dimensions: Exhaustion (energy depletion), cynicism (depersonalisation), and reduced professional efficacy characterise burnout.
-
Risk Factors: Perfectionism, poor boundaries, unsupportive workplace, lack of control, and inadequate self-care increase burnout risk.
-
Recovery Path: Overcoming burnout requires systemic changes, not just individual coping — including rest, boundary-setting, and often workplace adjustments.
