People of helping professions know the symptoms of burnout well: reluctance to go to work, indifference or hatred of clients and colleagues, constant fatigue, feelings of hopelessness, etc. Many people know the proposed methods of treatment – timely vacation, active and interesting leisure, efficient time management, a clear definition of their responsibilities, the ability to say “nope” to people who are trying to shift their duties to you, and more. But practice shows that all these methods can only temporarily relieve the symptoms of burnout.
