Emotional burnout: what is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Emotional burnout<\/b> - it's not just fatigue. It's condition<\/b>that can overwhelm the most resilient soul. It goes through physical, emotional and mental exhaustion, destroying enthusiasm for work and causing desolation. I was once approached by a woman who had recently been burning with ideas and dreams. Now she felt like a gross shadow of herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
