How do we treat
Burnout?

Engage with Greatest Moments, a trusted therapist group based in Ridgewood, NJ, that is wholly devoted to helping individuals navigate the challenges of life. Do you find yourself filled with feelings of overwhelm and fatigue? You might be experiencing burnout—a frequently encountered condition that affects many individuals in our fast-paced modern world.


Burnout is a state of chronic physical and emotional exhaustion, often resulting from prolonged periods of stress, pressure, or excessive demands. Burnout is a gradual process that occurs when an individual faces an overwhelming number of responsibilities without having sufficient control or power to manage the resulting stress.


Typically, the same person possesses a greater understanding of potential solutions to the problems, but lacks the authority to implement them. Here is a commonly observed step-by-step process of experiencing burnout.


I   Big Responsibilities with Little Power leads to Shame

II  High Awareness with Little power leads to Helplessness

III Shame and Helplessness lead to Burnout (irritability, frequent states of panic, hyper-vigilance, free floating worries, exhaustion)


If you are experiencing burnout, it is important to seek accommodations that can assist you in achieving a balance between your responsibilities and your executive capacity. Failure to address burnout can result in negative consequences called collapse such as apathy, disengagement, and deep depression. In the event that you find yourself in a state of collapse, it is necessary to take a leave of absence and seek treatment in order to recover and restore your functioning to the level prior to experiencing burnout.


Here, at Greatest Moments, we have been working with all individuals including high achieving individuals to overcome burnout and collapse for over 20 years. Burnout and collapse tend to impact most aspects of your life, including work, relationships, and overall well-being.
