EMDR or hypnotherapy for burnout

Burnout can completely exhaust you, both physically and mentally. You feel constantly tired, drained, and overstimulated. The smallest tasks seem like mountains of work, and you might feel like you'll never find the energy you once had again. But there's good news: recovery is possible. And you don't have to do it alone. As a psychologist and hypnotherapist, I'll guide you step by step toward a healthier balance and a lasting recovery.

What is burnout?

Burnout is caused by prolonged stress and overwork. You've pushed yourself too hard for months or even years without sufficient rest and recovery. This leads to exhaustion of both your body and mind. Symptoms of burnout can include:

• Extreme fatigue even after adequate sleep
• Concentration problems and forgetfulness
• Irritability and emotional exhaustion
• Feeling of failure or uselessness
• Physical complaints such as headaches, muscle pain or palpitations
• Difficulty relaxing and worrying

Do you recognize yourself in these symptoms? Then it's time to reflect on your recovery. It's important to recognize that burnout isn't a sign of weakness, but a signal that you've been pushing yourself too far. It's an invitation to deal with stress and pressure differently and to give yourself more space and rest.

How I can help you

Everyone recovers in their own way, which is why I offer a personalized approach. Using psychotherapy and specialized methods like hypnotherapy, EMDR, and the Havening Touch method, I'll help you reduce your stress levels, address the root causes of your burnout, and regain control of your life.

1. Understanding where burnout comes from

Burnout doesn't just happen. Often, there are deeper causes, such as perfectionism, a strong sense of responsibility, or a difficulty setting boundaries. Together, we'll identify what's draining you and how we can break through it. This process not only helps you understand how you ended up in burnout but also helps you develop strategies to prevent it from happening again.

2. Relaxation and stress regulation

Stress is one of the biggest culprits in burnout. Using hypnotherapy and breathing techniques, I'll help you calm your nervous system and return to a relaxed state. This will help your body and mind recover more effectively. When you learn how to better manage stress, you'll quickly notice increased energy and improved ability to cope with daily challenges.

3. Trauma processing with EMDR, hypnotherapy and Havening

Sometimes, unresolved trauma underlies your burnout. This could be a past situation where you felt powerless, overwhelmed, or pressured. With EMDR or hypnotherapy and the Havening Touch method, we can process these experiences so they no longer negatively impact your well-being. Many people don't realize that certain past experiences still reverberate through their daily lives and can contribute to feelings of exhaustion and stress.

4. Changing thinking patterns with cognitive behavioral therapy

Many people with burnout harbor beliefs that unconsciously prevent them from recovering, such as "I must always be strong" or "I mustn't disappoint others." Cognitive behavioral therapy examines these thoughts and replaces them with healthier, more realistic beliefs. This helps you relate to yourself more healthily and prevents you from falling back into perfectionism and overload.

5. Building energy and vitality

Besides relaxation and processing, it's also important to actively work on your physical and mental energy. Together, we'll explore ways to rebuild your energy levels. This can be achieved through exercise, better sleep hygiene, and a healthy diet. Fun and relaxation also play a major role in your recovery. By finding activities that bring you joy and relaxation, you'll learn to enjoy life again without guilt.

Back to balance and energy

Burnout isn't just a period of exhaustion, but also an opportunity to rediscover yourself. During our sessions, we'll work together on greater balance, self-care, and resilience. Step by step, you'll learn how to take better care of yourself and prevent stress in the future. This recovery process isn't a quick fix, but a valuable investment in yourself that will benefit you for the rest of your life.

People often think they can only relax once all the work is done, but creating moments of calm in your daily routine will actually make you more productive and happier. You'll learn how to set healthy boundaries, say no without guilt, and prioritize what's truly important in your life.
