Always look forward to my sessions.
Daiana Jumuga
Daiana is a great listener, very empathetic towards my situation. She tries to come up with various ways to identify the problem and provide a solution.
Thomas Theodosiou
I love how deeply he goes into what I say. The questions he asks to teach how I really feel about everything is immensely helpful.
Kelsey Gibbs
kelsey is great with providing some technical solutions for the topics we discussed.
Thomas Theodosiou
Though we aware following what he said. His input validated what we were doing. We did receive help with other aspects such us sibling rivalry and how to go about our child's education. I think Mr Theo is a pleasant and very helpful person. Would definitely recommend him to others.
Thomas Theodosiou
My sessions were great, my therapist is very helpful and motivating.
Beverly Fernandez
Welcoming, calming, gentle.
Manuel Torres
I had a wonderful and constructive sessions with Manuel and Fitcy. I found Manuel to be very affable and he gave me the freedom to conduct our sessions in a pace where I am comfortable, this made it easier for me to discuss things i normally would not. My counseling was intended to focus solely on my stress triggers, but Manuel dug deep into my past and origins and helped me understand my issues and myself better. I would unquestionably advise Manuel to anyone trying to work through issues in therapy since he is very light to deal with, understanding and never judgmental."
Beverly Fernandez
I am very grateful that I made my life coaching session with Ms Beverly and to your team can say Thank you very much for helping me all the way of my session. Every session has a fruitful meaning in my life journey, a journey that I get more attached with God and positivity in life. I great attachment which I will carry on from the rest of my new journey. Its sad to say that I ended up already my 4 sessions however it was replaced of enlightenment courage what life it could be. Im wishing you(Ms Beverly) and the rest of your team to help more people experiencing difficulties straggle’s in life to enlighten and courage to love their life journey more positive way and attached to Gods purpose of life. Thank you very much and Godbless us all. ♥️
Beste Aydogan
She’s amazing. Very understanding, very attentive, very smart.
Jose Tavela
Very comfy sessions and the therapist was hyper nice and knowledgeable
Nanar Iknadiossian
My sessions have been going well so far and I’m learning so much about my feelings, etc. I feel like I can count on someone when I’m dealing with problems and to see how I can cope with them.
Elena Giappa
Honestly speaking she’s probably the best therapist I’ve ever had, if you’re looking for cbt and recovery from anxiety and ptsd she’s the one to go for. But even if you’re struggling with anger and depression, separation, commitment, family and relationship problems she’s the one to go for. I tried so many different online services and offline similarly but started to give up until I actually gave fitcy health a go who matched me up with Elena. I’ve improved a lot even my friends and family notice it. No words would describe how much I really appreciate what Elena does and has done so far. I was dreading the feedback part because I was afraid of not having much time with her but seriously I wouldn’t want those who also need the help to miss out on what she has to offer and the management told me I don’t have to worry about that 😂. Elena, you are amazing!
Suzanne Helmy
Suzzanne is a good listener… Try her best to guide me through the therapy journey but with no judgment and with great support without making me feel negative about me or about my partner.
Naina Kapoor
"Naina has been just amazing at what she does. She's always on her toes to figure out a way for all the problems I face.."
Gaston Molina
I am grateful to have a safe, non judgmental, healthy space where I can fully be myself
Emilia Chawa
I am so relieved with her, she understand where I come from, also she respect my way of expressing things, she is very easy discussing my ideas, the homework she gave helps me to open my heart and mind for different direction, am attending to continue with her for more seasons.
George Saade
"My sessions were very good. He is very caring and he listened carefully and I felt comfortable. He never saw himself someone who is better than me or look down in me. Actually, that was the most important thing to me. He showed me his interest in listening to me and that he understand what I felt which made me feel relive"
Gaston Molina
Gaston listens and gives advice in a non-judgmental and kind way. He makes me realize and understand different point of views and helps me think differently from what I’m accustomed to.
Fatima
Very well done. Fatima helped me through a lot.
Nathasha Sharma
I have been putting therapy off for about 2 years. I've always had anxiety, and occasional panic attacks due to a lot of internal and external issues with life, and basically adulthood. The catalyst was actually starting my new job. It was a whole shift and I had to make major adjustments with my life and relationships. I'm only 2 months in, and already handling more than what I'm supposed to. I found myself crying day in and day out because of this, and I would isolate myself away from family. Nathasha listened with an open mind and heart, and had compassion and empathy. She gave me tips on how to better handle myself in situations during a panic/anxiety attack, and communication tips with my boss (who is my biggest obstacle at the moment). It's only been one session, but I can't wait for the next!
Daniela
Amazing, has helped me work through lots of things, attentive and very supportive.
Gaston
honestly idk where to start, fitcy helped me find gastón and he saved my life, i have been looking for affordable therapy for soo long and for years i wasn’t able to find until i found fitcy, then found my amazing therapist gastón, i love how flexible fitcy and gastón are
Christina P
She is an excellent psychologist, really smart and insightful. She is definitely well-experienced as a psychologist as she able to understand and respond very well to my thoughts and emotions. I would definitely recommend her.
Fatima
The sessions were really helpful, it made me understand myself more and I had a noticeable improvement with my mental health.
Gaston Molina
Seeing therapists can be daunting, Gaston makes it easy. He gets it, is able to help me break things down and work through everything, he’s brilliant!
Frequenty Asked Questions
One of the most effective and widely used therapies for burnout is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Fitcy burnout expert therapists can take one-to-one sessions or as a group. Even companies buy weekly or monthly sessions for their employees to eliminate burnout and make them more productive.
According to the experience of Fitcy therapists, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for burnout shows effective results in under three months to a year. It also depends on many correlated factors or symptoms and varies from person to person.
Any mental condition will never go away on its own. To make it less affective, you must consult a specialized burnout therapist and get consistent therapy sessions for almost a year to dysfunction of burnout symptoms. It would help if you didn’t ignore your burnout condition; otherwise, it will be worse for you in the future.
You can take “Burnout” as a mental illness, which can happen by continued work stress. You can make it less triggered by doing a workout, diets and at some point, you need a consistent therapist session to make it less affective.
What is Burnout?
Burnout is the exhaustion that sets in after prolonged and chronic stress. Burnout takes an emotional, physical, and mental toll on the person, making them unable to continue with their normal routine.
Initially, burnout was coined for professionals who would serve people, so, healthcare burnout and nursing burnouts were the more commonly used terms. Now, however, burnout is associated with any profession, and even homemakers are susceptible to it.
What are the Characteristics of Burnout Syndrome?
Since burnout is not a medical condition per se, there is some ambiguity in burnout meaning and classification. However, there are some characteristics of burnout syndrome defined by the WHO (World Health Organization). These include:
- Exhaustion and fatigue may lead to an inability to do anything.
- Emotional disconnect from the job or the duty that has been the source of the burnout alongside increased cynicism about it.
- Reduced productivity and efficiency.
What are the Signs and Symptoms of Burnout?
Burnout symptoms affect physical as well as mental health.
Physical Signs of Burnout
- Change in dietary habits
- GI problems like acid reflux
- Hypertension
- Headaches
- Muscle pain
- Poor immunity
- Sleep problems
- Mental signs of burnout
- Concentration issues
- Depression, or blues
- Cynicism
- Irritable mood
- Frustration
- Low self-worth
- Loneliness
- Loss of interest and motivation
- Negative thought
- Self-doubt
- Short temper
- Suicidal thoughts
What Causes Burnout?
The major cause of burnout is work and the consequent fatigue. Work does not only mean a conventional job, but work could be chores at home, managing the house, or people or family life.
Work-related causes of burnout include:
- A workload that is too hard to easily manage.
- Work that is confusing, hard to understand, or varying all the time.
- Unhealthy work environment
- Unfair treatment at work
- Lack of control over the tasks or the workflow
- Lack of effective communication on the job.
- Work that defies people’s belief system
- Deadlines that are hard to manage or those that cause too much pressure.
- Lack of support in the work, or ill-defined goals.
- Continuous work, without any break
Many people think burnout is only when you are overworked. While that is certainly one factor, there are other variants as well. These may include:
- A lifestyle that is too demanding.
- Lack of support or healthy relationships.
- Catching no breaks so living becomes a chore.
- Insufficient sleep and rest.
Burnout is more common with certain personality traits. These include:
- Perfectionist traits so one has to do unnecessary work to meet the high standards.
- A controlling personality due to which people then manage everything themselves.
- High achieving mindset.
- A jaded and pessimistic mindset.
What is Employee or Work Burnout?
Employee burnout is exhaustion, reduced productivity, and cynicism that occurs due to stress at work. An unhealthy work environment that does not prioritize employee well-being, lacks proper support and structure, does not allow people to have a work-life balance, causes undue pressures on the employees, and promotes harmful work culture increases the risk of burnout.
What are the Signs of Employee Burnout?
The signs of employee burnout that management should watch out for include:
Greater Mistakes
As burnout individuals become apathetic about their work, therefore, they are likely to make more mistakes.
Low Morale
Another sign of work burnout is low motivation levels and morale.
Work Levels
If your employees are facing high or low work levels, they are more likely to burn out.
Poor Compensation
When your employees do not get a fair monetary reward, despite putting in a lot of effort, their risk for burnout increases.
Sick Leave
As people fall ill frequently when they are burnout, they take more sick leave.
How to Cure or Deal with Burnout?
Burnout is not a permanent condition; overcoming burnout is entirely possible. Interventions to help you recover from burnout include:
Work on Your Physical Health
For burnout recovery, focusing on your physical health is important. So, eat well, get sufficient sleep, and exercise regularly.
Work on Your Mental Health
To get help for mental burnout, you can seek the counsel of experts at Fitcy Health. Experts can counsel you from the comfort of your own home since the service is available remotely. This way, even if you are exhausted, you put in minimal effort to get the help that you desperately need.
Try Relaxation Techniques
Techniques like yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and breathing exercises help in improving your stress levels. These help in improving your mental health and lowering your anxiety.
How to Deal with Burnout at Work?
If you think you are experiencing burnout specifically due to your work, you should take steps to remedy the situation before it gets worse. Some helpful things to deal with work burnout include:
Talk to the Management
You should talk to your supervisor or the management about the problems that you are facing at work. Every company wants productive employees, so it is in their interest as well to work with you to improve the situation.
Get Help from Loved Ones
If you have good support from your loved ones, life becomes easier. So, when work is becoming too hard to handle, unload your problems to your loved ones. Not only does it feel good, but they can also offer solutions.
Relax Otherwise
To offset the stress from work, try to make the activities that you enjoy part of your life. Partaking in these activities will also help you in improving your stress levels.
Normalize Delegating Tasks
Try not to do everything by yourself just to prove that you are capable. Normalize delegating tasks.
Do Not Overcommit
Some people might overcommit to prove their mettle, but that might lead to burnout. Therefore, try to only do as much work as you are comfortable with.
Make Changes
Change your work routine when in earlier burnout stages. Aim for a better work-life balance, especially during this period.
How to Prevent Burnout?
Burnout can be prevented with just a few minor adjustments. These include:
- Having good self-care strategies in place
- Taking regular breaks
- Being regular with exercise
- Prioritizing your mental health
- Building boundaries
How to Avoid Burnout?
To avoid burnout in the future, it is important that you work on improving your wellbeing. According to Gallup, 2 in 5 employees reported feeling burnout on account of work. So, it is crucial that you protect yourself by remembering the ABCs of burnout prevention:
Avoid
Take note of your burnout symptoms and avoid them so that your burnout is not triggered again.
Breaks
Breaks are important. Whether it be a vacation, staycation, or even a 10-minute lunch break, take them. Stepping out of the zone that is causing you burnout can help you reboot yourself.
Communication and Counseling
Communication and counseling are both particularly important. Communicate with your management when things go awry. Talk to your family and friends about your problem. Similarly, get counseling and therapy to help with mental and emotional burnout.
Fitcy Health is an excellent place to start because you can choose from a variety of experts. You also get different packages, which are convenient for your pocket. Also, you can message your counselor whenever you think you need help.
