Maybe you know the feeling. A couple of stressful days turns into a couple of stressful weeks, then months... and sometimes even longer.  

It doesn’t feel like stress anymore, more like exhaustion. You’re tired in your bones. So, are you burned out? 

You might think of burnout as something that only happens in the workplace, but as our work life extends beyond the bounds of a regular 9-5, we’re discovering that burnout can look very different these days. 

Tigist Kebede, a senior counsellor at Pola Psychology, explains how our thinking around burnout is changing, how to spot the warning signs and build your own burnout resilience amid all that overwhelm.
