Signs of Stress & Burnout
How Counseling Works Here
Stabilize the system – Simple nervous-system tools to reduce overwhelm fast.Map your pattern – Triggers, beliefs, parts (e.g., Pusher, Perfectionist), and energy drains.
Values-based plan – Tiny, realistic steps for sleep, movement, focus, and boundaries.
Skill up – ACT/CBT tools for worry and procrastination; executive-function supports.
Treat the roots (if needed) – IFS for shame/people-pleasing; EMDR for stuck memories.
Maintain – Relapse-prevention for busy seasons and transitions.
Approaches We Use For Stress & Burnout
IFS-Informed (Parts) Work: Understand the Pusher/Perfectionist/Avoider dynamic without shame; increase self-leadership.
CBT & Behavioral Activation: Structure your day to build traction and mood.
EMDR (when appropriate): Reprocess performance failures, medical scares, or workplace traumas that keep you stuck.
Executive-Function Coaching: Planning, time-blocking, task initiation, and email/calendar systems.
Neurofeedback (optional): Supports sleep, stress tolerance, and attention so skills stick. See Neurofeedback.
