burnout THERAPY

From Anxiety to Ease (Counselling and Psychotherapy for Lawyers in Toronto + Ontario), offers a specialized approach to burnout recovery for lawyers no matter the area of practice or year of call. Our team of therapists uses evidence-based practices to create a customized plan that fits your unique needs. 

Here are some common elements of burnout:

• Physical Exhaustion: are you experiencing persistent fatigue, reduced energy or feeling drained consistently?
• Emotional Exhaustion: are you feeling detached, cynical, and a reduced ability to cope with stress? You may feel emotionally depleted and find it challenging to connect with others.
• Reduced Performance: burnout can negatively impact professional and personal performance, resulting in a decline in productivity, efficiency, and overall effectiveness in various areas of life. 
• Cognitive Impairment: cognitive symptoms may include difficulty concentrating, memory lapses, and impaired decision-making. You may find it challenging to stay focused and make decisions.
• Other Physical Symptoms: you may be experiencing headaches, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. Chronic stress associated with burnout can contribute to various health issues, impacting overall well-being.
• Decreased Satisfaction and Engagement: you may be experiencing a decrease in career satisfaction and a diminished sense of personal accomplishment. Tasks that once brought joy or fulfillment may no longer elicit the same positive feelings. 
• Increased Irritability and Impatience: You  may find yourself irritable, short-tempered, or impatient in professional and/or personal settings. 
• Neglect of Personal Needs: Burnout often leads to neglecting your own needs, including proper nutrition, exercise, grooming and leisure activities which unfortunately exacerbates burnout further. 
• Feelings of Ineffectiveness and Lack of Achievement: Burnout can evoke a sense of inadequacy, where you may feel ineffective and unable to meet the demands of your roles. 

Everyone is unique and you may be feeling burnout differently. 

Here's how we support you:

• We help you identify whether you're experiencing burnout and process your unique experience of burnout.
• We help you learn the language of self compassion so that you're not adding to your distress by judging or berating yourself for your experience.
• We work with you to figure out realistic strategies around taking breaks, setting boundaries, communication and prioritizing your health and happiness, within your specific career and personal goals.
• We work with you to explore and address other challenges in your work and personal life so you can move forward from burnout and with more insight and clarity into yourself and your life.
