  There are moments when leaving something unsaid speaks louder than words.

Recognizing the power of thoughtful silence allows for deeper understanding and fosters a respectful space. It's about finding harmony between expressing oneself and respecting the boundaries that create a foundation for meaningful connections. πŸ’¬✨ If there is a relationship in your life that you are needing support with, click the link in our bio to schedule a free phone consultation to get connected with one of our therapists. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/therapy-phone-consultation

Burnout vs. Stress

Image
  Let's differentiate between stress and burnout. Stress is a natural part of life, often temporary and manageable with healthy coping strategies. On the other hand, burnout is a chronic and profound state of physical and emotional exhaustion, resulting from prolonged stress without sufficient recovery. Recognizing the signs early is crucial – stress responds well to self-care, while burnout requires more comprehensive interventions like rest, setting boundaries, and seeking support. Prioritize your well-being and know that seeking help is a sign of strength. πŸ’ͺπŸ’™ Life By Design Therapy has a team of therapists ready to support you through managing your stress and burnout.
