CAREER

burnout isn't a career strategy

Work takes up a huge part of your life, and when it starts draining your energy and affecting your confidence it doesn’t just stay at work. It follows you home, into your thoughts, and into everything else you’re trying to manage.

Sometimes the work environment is inherently stressful. Other times, it’s the pressure you put on yourself: the perfectionism, the fear of falling short, the belief that anything less than exceptional isn’t enough.

You might feel that no matter how much you give, it's never sufficient. You keep pushing, but the exhaustion, resentment, and anxiety stay with you. You start second-guessing yourself and overanalyzing interactions.

Or maybe you get to where you thought you wanted to be and still feel like something is missing. You’re moving forward, but not in a way that feels satisfying or authentic.

Career struggles aren’t just about toxic leadership or impossible systems, though those can be very real. They’re also shaped by the internal patterns that high achievers often carry: overworking, doubting, running on urgency, and driving yourself with fear rather than purpose.

Therapy helps you recognize those patterns, understand what’s fueling them, and learn how to operate differently without compromising your ambition. It gives you the tools to think more clearly, lead yourself more effectively, and make decisions that reflect who you are, not just what’s expected. You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. You can build success that actually feels sustainable.
