Overwork & Workaholism
You’ve always been the one who gets things done—the one who pushes through, no matter how exhausted you feel. But lately, the constant drive to achieve is wearing you down. Overworking and workaholism can feel like a badge of honour, yet beneath it is often a quiet struggle with self-worth, boundaries, and emotional burnout. Therapy can help you step off the treadmill of ‘doing’ and rediscover who you are beyond your productivity.
You don’t have to earn your worth through exhaustion. It is possible to embody a state of being vs a state of constant doing. Let’s create a new way of being that honours your well-being and success.
