Therapist Burnout – A Systemic Issue, Not a Personal Failure
🎬 Pop Culture Connection: Severance – A dystopian take on work-life balance
How our ‘work part’ is at risk of burnout when it is not given the emotional support and care that it needs.
📊 Burnout by the Numbers:
60-66% of workers report feeling burnout
30-70% of therapists experience burnout (especially post-pandemic)
Some exploitive telehealth companies pay a s low as $30/hour
🛑 Signs of Burnout
Emotional depletion
Compassion fatigue
Mental health struggles
Shame & isolation
Why Are Therapists at High Risk?
High emotional demands
Exploitative telehealth practices
Cultural pressure to and shame around feeling depleted
Financial stress (student debt, low pay)
How to Recover & Prevent Burnout
Take real breaks to reset your nervous system
Avoid toxic work environments (consider local practices over telehealth)
Try digital minimalism (set screen boundaries)
Seek support – burnout is NOT a personal failure
Give yourself permission to leave your job, (even the profession), if necessary
