Psychotherapy
In severe cases, the exact cause should first be worked out with the help of a psychiatrist or trained psychologist. If, for example, it turns out that the workplace, colleagues or supervisor are significantly responsible for the burnout syndrome, a change of job may make sense. The workplace situation, which is the most frequent cause of a burnout syndrome, must be discussed in detail. In particular, the factors of too high expectations, excessive demands, one’s own excessive striving for harmony, conflict avoidance, insufficient support from superiors, conflicts with colleagues, dissatisfaction, resignation and bitterness must be addressed. Important are as complete as possible clarification of the usually complex causes and the processing of the associated emotional states to solve the tensions sustainably.
