Stress Therapy Online
Everyone experiences stress. But when stress becomes chronic and your body and mind no longer get a chance to recover, you risk becoming overwhelmed. This is a serious signal you should not ignore. The good news is that stress and overwhelm — when addressed early — are very treatable.
At Pervan Psychology, we support people who are struggling with stress and burnout-related exhaustion. Online, without a waiting list, with a qualified psychologist.
What is stress-related exhaustion?
Stress-related exhaustion occurs when your stress response has been activated for too long and both your body and mind have become overloaded. It sits between regular tiredness and a full burnout — think of it as a serious warning sign from your body that something needs to change.
The difference between stress, exhaustion and burnout
Stress
Temporary increased pressure — recovery happens after rest
Stress-related exhaustion
Prolonged stress without sufficient recovery — you are overloaded but still functioning
Burnout
Complete exhaustion where functioning becomes extremely difficult
Signs of stress and exhaustion
- You are easily irritated or emotional
- You sleep poorly — difficulty falling or staying asleep
- You suffer from headaches, muscle tension or stomach problems
- Concentrating is becoming increasingly difficult
- You feel rushed, even when there is nothing urgent happening
- Small things feel like major problems
- You are withdrawing from the people around you
- You feel like you cannot cope anymore
Common causes
Work pressure
Too much responsibility, tight deadlines or workplace conflicts
Personal circumstances
Relationship problems, caregiving responsibilities or financial worries
Personality traits
Perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries or saying no
Lack of recovery
Not enough sleep, physical activity or relaxation
