"Professional Burnout"

Feeling stress is our mind and body's unique way of letting us know that something is wrong and that we need to make changes to feel good again. Unfortunately, we often ignore these warning signs and learn to adapt to a stressful lifestyle instead of taking steps to reduce and control our stress. The danger of ignoring our stress is that it can become chronic - negatively affecting all facets of our lives. Experiencing chronic stress over long periods of time can lead us to the mental, physical and emotional exhaustion known as burnout. Burnout can be healed but it is better to learn how to prevent it from happening to you.
