Quick, evidence-based answers to the most common questions.
The three core signs are exhaustion that rest doesn't fix, cynicism or detachment, and reduced performance. Also common: dread, irritability, trouble concentrating, and withdrawing from people.
Stress is "too much" — you're over-engaged and wired. Burnout is "empty" — you're disengaged and drained. The key difference is recovery: with stress you still bounce back; with burnout, rest stops working.
Rebuild real rest and boundaries, reconnect with what matters, and get support — burnout rarely lifts on willpower alone. Start by protecting recovery time and reducing the load.
It varies from weeks to many months depending on severity. Recovery is faster when you address both the workload and the mindset (especially guilt around rest), ideally with support.
Yes. CBT helps you rebuild coping skills, set boundaries, and challenge the beliefs (like "rest is lazy") that drive burnout — which is why it's so effective.
Protect recovery time, keep firm boundaries around work, watch for early warning signs, and build daily habits (rest, movement, downtime) that keep your tank from running empty.
