Burnout

You deserve to rest. You don’t have to earn it.

Burnout doesn’t just mean you're “a little tired.” It can feel like your mind and body are shutting down, like you’re running on fumes, disconnected from everything you once cared about. Whether you're a high achiever, caregiver, student, or professional, burnout is a signal, not a personal failure.

At Dreavita, we specialize in supporting clients through burnout recovery and preventative care. You don’t have to keep pushing past your limits. You deserve space to rest, process, and rebuild in a way that’s sustainable and affirming.

What Does Burnout Feel Like?

These are signs of burnout, not laziness or weakness.

You might experience:

  • Constant exhaustion, even after rest

  • Feeling emotionally numb, irritable, or hopeless

  • Trouble concentrating or making decisions

  • Feeling detached from work, relationships, or passions

  • Physical symptoms like headaches, stomach issues, or sleep problems

  • Self-doubt, perfectionism, or feeling like you’ll “never catch up”

You’re not broken. These are human responses to being pushed too far for too long, and they’re treatable.

Our Approach to Burnout Treatment

We match clients with trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming therapists who understand how burnout shows up differently for everyone. Together, we’ll help you:

  • Unpack the roots of your burnout (career, caregiving, identity stress, or systemic pressure)

  • Rebuild your relationship with rest and redefine your worth beyond productivity

  • Create boundaries and sustainable systems that work for your life

  • Process emotions and reconnect with your body through somatic tools and mindfulness

  • Explore neurodivergent burnout, ADHD overlap, or high-masking if relevant

You don’t have to keep surviving. You can start healing.

Burnout often overlaps with…

Many clients struggling with burnout are also navigating:

  • Neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, or sensory overwhelm)

  • Chronic stress or trauma

  • Identity-based fatigue (racism, sexism, ableism, queerphobia)

  • Caregiver stress or compassion fatigue

  • Medical or mental health conditions

  • Late diagnosis or long-term masking

We provide care that sees the full picture. You don’t have to fit a mold to deserve help.

 FAQs

  • Burnout can overlap with depression or anxiety, but it often stems from chronic stress and exhaustion rather than internal mental health conditions. We’ll help you explore the difference, and what’s really going on.

  • Not at all. We’ll work with you to figure out what’s sustainable for you. That might include boundary-setting, self-advocacy, rest practices, or shifting internalized beliefs.

  • Yes. Burnout recovery is valid even if you haven’t “hit a wall.” You deserve support before things get worse.
