What is burnout therapy?
Burnout therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to help individuals recover from chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, and a diminished sense of accomplishment.
Whether driven by a high-pressure career or the relentless demands of caregiving, this therapy focuses on nervous system regulation, sustainable boundary setting, and rebuilding emotional resilience to prevent long-term health crises.
Do I have professional or caregiver burnout?
At My Denver Therapy, we specialize in the two most common tracks of depletion found in the Colorado workforce:
Professional Burnout: Common in the Greenwood Village/DTC tech corridor and Downtown Denver’s legal/medical sectors. It is characterized by the “Sunday Scaries,” cynicism toward your career, and a feeling that your identity is solely tied to your productivity.
Caregiver Burnout: Common among the “sandwich generation” in Lone Tree and Arvada. It is characterized by “compassion fatigue,” deep guilt, and feeling like you have no identity outside of assisting a loved one or child.
5 universal signs you need burnout support
If you identify with these, your stress has transitioned into clinical burnout:
Persistent Exhaustion: You feel “depleted” even after a weekend off in the mountains.
Emotional Numbing: You feel “flat” or disconnected from family or the Colorado outdoors.
Increased Irritability: You find yourself “snapping” at colleagues or loved ones.
Cognitive Fatigue: You struggle to make simple decisions or experience “brain fog.”
Physical Warning Signs: Unexplained headaches, digestive issues, or sudden insomnia.
From survival to sustainability
We don’t just offer stress management. We provide a clinical roadmap to help you stay in your career or caregiving role without losing yourself.
Nervous System Regulation: We use somatic techniques to move your body out of “fight or flight” mode, a common state for both CEOs and primary caregivers.
Boundary Engineering: We help you script conversations—whether it’s with a manager in Cherry Creek or a family member—to protect your limited energy.
Identity Reclamation: We help you rebuild a sense of self that exists independently of your “output” or your “service” to others.
Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.
