Experiencing burnout can be simple, just needing a break after work, or more complex, requiring time off from work to recuperate. A psychologist has come up with a list of the 12 stages of burnout that range from mild symptoms to behaviors that can lead to conflict and illness. If you recognize yourself experiencing a mild symptom, it’s important to change the behaviors causing it early on, there is a provided video however, for those experiencing more severe symptoms.
Reflect on these key points:
- 1“Burnout” operates on both ends of the spectrum. It can be as small as wanting to get away for a day, or, as significant as taking an extended time off from work
- 2Psychologists Herbert Freudenberger and Gail North developed a 12-stage model of burnout
- 3If caught early enough, burnout can be relieved with no harm to oneself
“It’s easier to cure any condition if you catch it early, after all, and that includes burnout. So don’t shrug off early warning signs just because they seem mild.”
