How Therapy Intensives Can Help You Overcome Burnout
ADHD, Overwhelm, and Burnout: A Recipe for Exhaustion
Burnout isn’t just about being tired—it’s a full-body shutdown. For women with ADHD, who already battle executive dysfunction, emotional dysregulation, and the mental load of everyday life, burnout can feel like drowning in an endless to-do list.
Signs you might be experiencing burnout:
Chronic exhaustion, no matter how much you rest
Increased anxiety, irritability, or emotional outbursts
Brain fog that makes even simple tasks feel impossible
Feeling detached, unmotivated, or numb
Trouble keeping up with responsibilities, leading to guilt and shame
A constant cycle of hyperfocus and complete shutdown
If you can relate, you’re not alone—and traditional weekly therapy may not be enough to pull you out of this spiral. That’s where therapy intensives come in.
What Is a Therapy Intensive?
A therapy intensive is a highly focused, deep-dive approach that compresses weeks or even months of traditional therapy into a single day or in the span of a few days. Instead of waiting for slow progress over time, you get immediate support and strategies designed to help you overcome burnout faster.
Why Choose a Therapy Intensive Over Weekly Sessions?
While traditional therapy is incredibly valuable, it often moves too slowly for those deep in burnout. Therapy intensives provide:
1. Faster Relief: Instead of waiting months to feel better, you can experience breakthroughs in just one session.
2. A Reset Button for Your Brain: ADHD brains need structure but also immersive experiences to fully process emotions and patterns. An intensive allows you to step back, recalibrate, and create a customized plan for sustainable energy management.
3. Personalized, Focused Support: With extended one-on-one time, we can target the root of your burnout, uncover hidden patterns, and develop strategies tailored to your unique ADHD needs.
4. Practical, ADHD-Friendly Coping Tools: You’ll leave with strategies designed to actually work for your brain, not generic advice that feels impossible to implement.
How Therapy Intensives Can Recharge You
Imagine waking up feeling lighter, clearer, and more in control—without the constant cycle of burnout and recovery. Therapy intensives help you:
Process deep-rooted stress and emotional exhaustion
Understand your energy drains and how to set realistic boundaries
Develop ADHD-friendly strategies that support productivity without overwhelm
Reconnect with yourself and what you actually need to thrive
Instead of running on fumes, you’ll walk away feeling recharged, empowered, and equipped with a roadmap to prevent future burnout.
