Stress, work burnout and recovery with Dr Rozina

Work burnout is more than feeling tired or overwhelmed—it is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion that develops when chronic stress goes unmanaged for too long. It often shows up as cynicism, reduced effectiveness, and a sense of disconnection from work that once felt meaningful. Recovery is not simply about taking time off; it requires intentionally addressing the sources of stress, restoring healthy boundaries, and reconnecting with purpose and support. True recovery happens when individuals are given the space, tools, and permission to rest, reflect, and rebuild resilience, allowing energy, clarity, and motivation to return in a sustainable way.Dr. Rozina Lakhani is a board-certified psychiatrist, bestselling author, transformative mental wellness speaker, and contributing editor for Contentment, the magazine of the American Institute of Stress.
