Causes of Burnout
Burnout usually develops from prolonged exposure to unmanaged stress, particularly in demanding work environments. Common causes include excessive workloads, long hours, and high personal expectations. A lack of control over one’s job or insufficient support from supervisors can also fuel stress. Additionally, difficulty in separating work from personal life can intensify the problem, leading to physical and emotional exhaustion.
Professional Support for Recovery
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion brought on by prolonged stress, particularly in the workplace. It goes beyond the occasional feeling of being overworked, causing a deeper sense of fatigue and a lack of motivation. Left unaddressed, burnout can significantly impact daily life and overall well-being. At her clinic in Dubai, Zita Chriszto, a DHA-licensed clinical psychologist, offers evidence-based therapy to help individuals overcome burnout and regain balance in their personal and professional lives.
When to Seek Help for Burnout
If you experience prolonged symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, or emotional detachment, it may be time to seek professional help. Burnout can affect anyone, but with timely intervention, recovery is possible. According to the World Health Organization, burnout is increasingly common, especially among working professionals. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to reach out for support.
Treatment Options
Zita Chriszto treats burnout by using evidence-based therapies, customized for each client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is often the first approach, helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that worsen burnout. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) focuses on teaching mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and stay grounded. Psychodynamic Therapy may be used to explore deeper emotional issues that contribute to burnout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Burnout
What does burnout feel like?
Burnout feels like being emotionally, mentally, and physically drained – as if your batteries won’t recharge no matter how much you rest. Common experiences include constant exhaustion and dread about work, growing cynicism or detachment from things you used to care about, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and a sense of ineffectiveness or ‘what’s the point?’. It often shows up in the body too: headaches, disrupted sleep, and frequent illness. Unlike an ordinary bad week, burnout builds up over time and doesn’t lift with a single day off.
What are the symptoms of burnout?
Fatigue is a temporary physical and mental tiredness that can improve with rest. Burnout, on the other hand, is a prolonged state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion, often caused by chronic stress and not easily resolved by rest alone.
