Stress Management Edmonton / Work Stress

In today’s era of start-ups, globalization, and the availability of work from home (WFH), prolonged work hours and stress have become extremely common. Daily work issues like dissatisfaction with the boss, work profile, or salary add to the existing pile of stress, often leading to Job Burnout.

What is Job Burnout?

Job burnout happens when stress from the work environment is constant for a long time, which makes you physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. It’s not a disorder; however, it is a syndrome wherein several symptoms are simultaneously observed. While burnout is mainly exhaustion, it is more than just that and can affect your self-worth and identity. It results in disturbed mental and physical health and can sometimes result in disorders like depression and anxiety.
