Therapy for Burnout: Your Specialized & Personalized Burnout Retreat in Switzerland
Constant exhaustion, a feeling of emptiness or that you can’t keep going – despite the various signs and symptoms of burnout, it often creeps up unnoticed. Burnout is more than just high stress: your body and soul feel out of balance. At our specialist burnout retreat, you’ll find the rest, support, and strength to rediscover who you are.
What is burnout?
Burnout is a state of serious physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Typical signs and symptoms of burnout include the feeling of being constantly tired and exhausted, a growing emotional distance from everyday life, and declining performance.
Triggers usually include persistent stressors such as professional or personal stress, high expectations or a lack of breaks for rest and recuperation. If burnout is not treated promptly, it can develop into serious physical and mental illnesses.
Burnout symptoms: An overview
Burnout usually develops over time. To begin with, many sufferers may feel tired and exhausted. Gradually the symptoms get worse – both physically and emotionally.
Emotional exhaustion
When you suffer from burnout, you feel empty inside, drained, and lacking energy. Irritability, withdrawal, feeling overburdened or a lack of motivation are typical.
Physical exhaustion: Warning signs
The physical symptoms of burnout are often misidentified at first. Common warning signs include sleep disturbances, headaches, feeling tense, abdominal problems, and cardiovascular complaints.
Exhausted and tired: How burnout manifests in everyday life
Constant tiredness means sufferers have barely any energy. They often don’t feel refreshed after a period of rest. This impacts work, daily life, and social interactions.
The importance of therapy for burnout
Specialist burnout therapy offers space to relax, gather strength, and find a way out of exhaustion. The aim of any treatment for burnout is to rebalance body and soul, increase quality of life, and regain resilience in everyday life, step by step.
Individual approaches to therapy for burnout
At VITREA, multimodal psychotherapy is at the heart of our treatment for burnout. In other words, we combine different treatment approaches and therapies to tackle the symptoms of burnout. In addition, we offer physical and creative approaches which help you to regain your strength and zest for life.
Psychological support
Psychologists and psychiatrists guide patients during our individual and group therapy sessions. Regular visits ensure specialist medical care including medication checks.
Physical rehabilitation
Movement is a central part of our burnout therapy: Land- and water-based exercise, occupational therapy, physiotherapy as well as targeted nutritional advice promote stability and resilience.
Group therapy and creative approaches
Group sessions facilitate social interaction. They provide a place to share thoughts, insights and struggles, and to provide and receive mutual support. Art, dance, and movement therapy also help to resolve inner tension and find new energy.
