Burnout is not ordinary tiredness. It is the result of prolonged emotional and mental overload, where rest alone no longer feels enough. You may feel drained, disconnected, irritable, or stuck in survival mode even when life looks “normal” from the outside.
At Manospandana, we offer burnout counselling and therapy to help individuals recover from chronic stress, regain emotional balance, and rebuild a sustainable way of living.
Support is available through:
In-person burnout counselling in Bangalore
Secure online therapy for clients across India and worldwide
Burnout develops slowly. It often begins with responsibility, commitment, and the desire to do well. Over time, when demands exceed emotional capacity and recovery is delayed, the system starts to shut down.
Burnout may show up as:
Emotional exhaustion that does not improve with rest
Feeling detached, numb, or indifferent
Loss of motivation or meaning
Reduced efficiency despite working harder
A sense of being “used up” or empty
Burnout is rarely caused by a single factor. It usually develops when stress becomes constant and boundaries disappear.
Common contributors include:
Prolonged work pressure or unrealistic expectations
Lack of control, recognition, or support
Caregiving responsibilities without emotional relief
Chronic people-pleasing or perfectionism
Blurred work life boundaries
Long-term emotional suppression
Burnout does not stay limited to work or responsibilities. It often spills into personal life in subtle but painful ways.
People experiencing burnout may:
Withdraw emotionally from loved ones
Feel easily irritated or emotionally flat
Struggle with communication or empathy
Lose interest in connection or intimacy
Feel guilty for not “being themselves”
Burnout and Depression can look similar, but they are not identical.
Burnout is usually linked to specific roles or life situations such as work, caregiving, or academic pressure. Symptoms may reduce when stressors are addressed.
Depression tends to affect all areas of life, including self-worth, mood, and interest in living, even when circumstances improve.
Because symptoms can overlap, professional assessment is important to determine the right kind of support.
Burnout counselling focuses on recovery, regulation, and rebuilding, not pushing you to perform more.
Therapy at Manospandana helps you:
Understand how burnout developed in your life
Identify emotional and practical overload patterns
Rebuild boundaries without guilt
Learn stress regulation and emotional recovery skills
Restore motivation and mental clarity
Create a sustainable rhythm for work and life
Burnout therapy is tailored to the individual rather than the role.
Depending on your needs, therapy may include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address pressure-driven thinking
Mindfulness-based interventions to reduce mental fatigue
Emotional regulation strategies for chronic stress
Values and boundary work to prevent relapse
Relational work when burnout affects family or partnerships

Support is available whether you are in Bangalore or anywhere in the world.
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress—especially in work, caregiving, or academic roles. Unlike occasional tiredness, burnout leads to feelings of detachment, decreased motivation, and reduced performance over time.
Burnout counselling provides a safe, structured space to explore the root causes of burnout, learn coping mechanisms, set boundaries, and rebuild emotional balance. Our therapists guide you through recovery and help prevent future burnout episodes.
