What is Stress and how does it lead to Burnout?

The stress you feel results from how you react to the stressors in life you experience. “Stressors” include life events such as job loss, financial difficulties, arguments, a heavy work/school load or loss of a loved one. Different individuals respond to these stressors differently. That is why there can be different levels of stress experienced by different people in the same situation.

Stress is not burnout – but burnout comes from stress. When a person experiences a set of stressors, if those stressors are not processed in a healthy way the stress experienced is high and builds with each new stressful experience. If a person continues to experience stress and does not process it well, that person is on a path to burnout. Though “burnout” is often used in a work setting, it applies to anyone. Burnout is when a person cannot function adequately anymore; there is no more physical, emotional or nervous energy left.

A phenomenon unique to this issue is the differing ways in which people process stress. How many stressors a person experiences determines how much stress exists. How that stress is processed determines how much stress is felt and how close the person is to burnout. One individual can experience very few stressors, not process the stress well, and it can lead to burnout. Another person can experience an enormous amount of stressors, process each in a healthy way, not feel a high level of stress, and never experience burnout.
