How to Recognise and Recover from Burnout on the Gold Coast
Feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or overwhelmed? Learn the signs of burnout and how a psychologist on the Gold Coast can help you recover and prevent it in the future.
Burnout Is More Than Just Feeling Tired
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. While many people associate it with work, burnout can happen in any area of life—parenting, caregiving, study, or even managing ongoing health challenges.
It’s your mind and body’s way of saying: “I can’t keep going like this.”
Signs You Might Be Experiencing Burnout
Burnout can look different for everyone, but common signs include:
Constant fatigue, even after rest
Feeling detached, unmotivated, or emotionally flat
Increased irritability or feeling overwhelmed easily
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Changes in sleep or appetite
Frequent headaches, muscle tension, or stomach issues
If you’ve been pushing yourself for too long without adequate rest or support, burnout may be the reason you’re struggling to feel like yourself.
How Therapy Can Help You Recover
Working with a psychologist on the Gold Coast can help you:
Identify the root causes of burnout
Challenge unhelpful core beliefs, such as “I’m not good enough” or “I have to do it all”
Learn stress management techniques that work for you
Set boundaries and create more balance in your life
Reconnect with activities and values that bring you energy
At Satya Psychology, I use evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness, combined with a holistic focus that addresses both mind and body.
A Holistic Approach to Burnout Recovery
Burnout doesn’t just impact your mind—it affects your whole body. That’s why recovery may include strategies such as:
Gentle movement and breathwork
Mindfulness and grounding exercises
Adjusting daily routines for rest and recovery
Exploring values-based living to create a more meaningful life
For some clients, walk and talk therapy provides a refreshing way to begin the healing process.
Flexible Therapy Options
I understand that when you’re burnt out, even finding the energy to get to an appointment can feel hard. That’s why I offer:
In-person sessions across the Gold Coast, including Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads, Southport, Robina, and Coolangatta
Telehealth psychology so you can get support from the comfort of home
Walk and talk therapy to combine movement, fresh air, and conversation
You Deserve to Rest and Recover
If you’re experiencing burnout, it’s not a sign of weakness—it’s a signal that something needs to change. With the right tools, boundaries, and support, you can restore your energy and prevent burnout in the future.
