Career Burnout and Midlife Transitions
Neurodivergent women have spent years in workplaces not build for them, masking without realizing it. This can lead to profound burnout – so we often find ourselves in our 40’s and 50’s considering major career changes. Therapy is a place to heal from burnout and better understand your needs, thoughts and feelings during major life transitions.
Burnout Isn't Failure
If you’re a high achieving woman who suddenly can’t anymore, you’re not broken, you’re depleted. Burnout is what happens when a nervous system has been asked to perform past its limits for too long.
Healing from Burnout
Years of masking ADHD in workplaces that haven’t adapted to serve the needs of neurodivergent employees, pushing through trauma responses, dealing with pre-deadline cortisol spikes, and performing “fine” despite profound burnout comes at a cost. Therapy can help you develop a burnout recovery plan.
Achieving Career Success
Therapy can help you build the career you want by addressing your mental health, and providing tailored tools for your unique needs and goals.
