Stress & Burnout

You might be here because...

  • You wake up tired after a full night's sleep. 

  • You feel like there’s too much to do and not enough energy to do it.

  • You push yourself to keep going, even when your body is asking for a break.

  • You feel guilty saying no, so you keep taking on more.

  • You get irritated more easily, even at small things.

  • You have trouble focusing or remembering what needs to be done.

  • You feel numb, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions.

  • You stop enjoying things that used to bring comfort or joy.

  • You feel drained after being around people, even the ones you care about.

  • You start to wonder how long you can keep going like this.

Breaking Free from Burnout

Many people don’t see burnout at first. It sneaks up on you, and then you keep going and try to do everything. But over time, it gets harder, and that’s your system saying it needs some support.

 

In counselling, we can look at tools and strategies to help you manage stress right now, but more importantly, we can focus on what's been happening underneath the burnout so real change can begin.

Together, we will look at things like:

  • The beliefs you hold about yourself and what you “should” do.

  • Habits that are taking more energy than they give back.

  • What's happening around you, including at work, at home, and in relationships.

  • How stress is showing up in your body. 

  • How past experiences may be shaping how you respond now. 

  • What parts of life feel supportive and what parts feel draining.

 

This kind of understanding makes room for real change. 

It helps the mind and body settle, and opens the door to a life that feels calmer and more manageable. 

A Place to Slow Down

Counselling can give you a place to slow down, breathe, and explore what has been weighing you down. 

 

Together, we look at the stress, expectations, and pressure that have been building, and how they’ve been affecting your daily life.


By understanding what’s underneath your burnout, the patterns, the beliefs, and the strain on your body, it becomes easier to make changes that support real healing.

 

Burnout isn’t a personal failure. It’s a sign that you've been carrying too much for too long. With support, your energy can return, you can find your balance, and life can start to feel steady and hopeful again.

If you’re looking for some relief, a free consultation is a good place to start. We can talk through your concerns and see if it feels like the right fit for you.

Land Acknowledgement

At Inspired Living Therapy, we recognize that our practice is located on the lands of the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy; the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations; the Tsuut’ina Nation; and the Métis people of Districts 5 and 6 in Alberta.

We hold deep respect for the histories, cultures, and the enduring connection of the Indigenous peoples to this land. At the same time, we recognize the continued impacts of colonization and systemic racism on Indigenous peoples. Acknowledging this land is only one step; without action, words fall short. Inspired Living Therapy is committed to ongoing learning, listening, and advocating for meaningful social change and reconciliation.
