Christine Walker, LPC
Licensed Therapist for Burned-Out Executives and Senior Professionals in Connecticut.
Are you tired of grinding through office politics and dreaming about running away to a deserted island somewhere?
That’s a good sign that you need more than just a vacation.
You need work that doesn’t leave you counting down to Friday, or spending Sunday night with a pit in your stomach. Where you have energy left to play with your kids, to sign up for that yoga class, and to live your actual life.
Because you don’t want to dread the next 20 years.
The problem is, you’ve already tried the obvious fixes. You’ve tried setting boundaries, taking time off, switching teams. And none of it worked.
So now you’re asking yourself, “Do I need to reboot my whole career, or is there something I missed?”
That’s the question I help people answer.
Most burnout doesn’t come from workload alone.
It’s what happens when chronic stress turns into self-doubt and cynicism, when you start reading between the lines of every interaction and monitoring the emotional temperature of every room.
My blog explores how this hypervigilence develops in senior roles and how much energy you can reclaim when you improve your ability to regulate your stress.
If You’d Like to Talk
I provide therapy for executives and senior professionals experiencing burnout caused by workplace abuse, chronic career anxiety, or leadership stress. You can schedule a brief consultation to share what’s going on and see whether working together makes sense.
