Therapy for Burnout for Men With High-Stress Jobs in Richmond, VA
Get Off the Treadmill Before It Breaks You
Burnout doesn’t hit all at once. It sneaks up on you. One day you’re just tired. Then you’re exhausted. Then you’re staring at your computer wondering why you feel nothing at all.
Most of the men we work with aren’t lazy or unmotivated. They are the guys everyone else leans on. The ones who keep pushing long after their tank is empty. The ones who say “I’m fine” even when they are falling apart.
But here’s the truth: burnout has a cost. You can only white-knuckle life for so long before something gives.
Your Body Usually Knows Before You Do
Your body will start throwing off all kinds of weird signals when you’re burned out. Stomach pains, headaches, digestive issues, tightness in your chest. This is your system telling you that it is overloaded. It’s the emotional version of a check engine light. And like any engine, if you keep ignoring the warning signs and keep pushing the same way, something eventually gives.
Burnout Shows Up in Every Corner of Your Life
- You lose patience with your partner or kids
- You feel resentful at work
- You have nothing left in the tank by the end of the day
- You are foggy, irritable, and tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix
- You fantasize about escaping your life, not living it
- Joy feels like a distant memory
If this describes you, you’re not weak. You are overloaded. And there is a way out.
How Therapy Helps
This is not about “relaxation” or positive thinking. Burnout is not fixed by inspirational quotes, bubble baths, or forcing gratitude.
Burnout is a sign that something in your life is out of alignment. Therapy helps you slow down enough to see what is actually draining you and what needs to change.
In our work together, you will learn to:
- Understand the real causes of your burnout
- Relate to stress differently instead of letting it run your day
- Rebuild routines that support your energy, not drain it
- Set boundaries without guilt
- Restore balance between work, family, and your inner life
- Feel like yourself again
This is practical, grounded work. It’s not about talking in circles. It’s about getting your life back.
The Goal
A life that feels manageable again. More clarity. More energy. More presence. Less resentment. Less spiraling. Less putting out fires all day.
You deserve to feel like a human being, not a machine.
