“Burn out” is a modern term for a syndrome that was originally called nervous breakdown. The term Burn out was originally coined by psychoanalyst Herbert Freudenberger in 1974.

Common symptoms include inner emptiness, exhaustion and a drop in performance. Also bodily disturbances like heart pain, headaches, dizziness, poor concentration, memory disturbances, sleep disruption and sexual problems. It is sometimes classified as a psychological disease but there is no physical disease in which the psyche is not involved.

Burn out means there must have been a strong fire before and stress is a key component in this pattern. Clients show a tendency to strive for high goals professionally and deny their own basic needs hence the necessary phases of relaxation don’t happen. 

In this seminar I will present treatments designed to address the underlying emotional issues connected with hormonal changes, pressure on the Limbic system, brain coordination problems and lymph drainage disturbances from the head.
