Presenting concern
You have been the capable one for a long time.
Stress management is one of Erin's core areas. Burnout tends to find the reliable — the person who absorbs, who covers, who is fine. It shows up as cynicism, exhaustion that sleep does not touch, and a strange numbness toward work you used to care about.
01Stress & Burnout
The load and the beliefs holding it
There is usually a rule underneath: if I stop, it falls apart; if I say no, I am letting people down. Those rules are examinable, and examining them changes what feels possible.
02Stress & Burnout
Recovery is a practice, not a vacation
A week off returns you to the same system. The work is what changes when you get back — boundaries you can actually hold, and a nervous system that has somewhere to discharge.
03Stress & Burnout
Common in caregiving and emergency work
First responders, nurses, teachers, pastors and parents of high-need kids see this most. Erin works with all of them.
Signs this is the right page
- Tired in a way sleep does not fix
- Cynical about work you used to love
- Snapping at the people you like most
- No idea what you would do with a free evening
None of this is a diagnosis, and no outcome is guaranteed. It is a starting point for a conversation.
In Erin's words
What she would say if you called today.
Burnout does not resolve with a better planner. We look at the load, at what you believe would happen if you put some of it down, and at how to make that survivable.
