Case study Burnout Syndrome
Case study Burnout Syndrome
- Mr K. is 48 years old and manager of a financial service corporation with several thousand employees.
- He has been successful for many years. His position is undisputed.
- Since two years he has been needing short breaks every so often, due to his acute respiratory disease. His back has also been making itself felt, despite his specialized fitness lessons. In all cases he has always been attentive towards his body and only eats well.
- There was a time where it all seemed to be a lot easier. Job, sports, family, everything was well organized, somehow. He didn´t even have to bring himself to exercise.
- For his family he has scheduled fixed „conversation appointments“. Emotionally not really satisfying.
- He would like to create a more natural balance between family, job and his hobbies. Just how?
- He has to, and in fact wants to, stay on for another few years.
A typical situation for managerial positions
Mr K. finds himself in a situation typical of many managerial positions. He is not yet aware that he is already showing many signs of a burnout syndrome. He actually just wants his old efficiency back. Or maybe just a little more …
In his situation an early recognition of a risk of burnout syndrome is the key to success.
Together with the person concerned the DZIP analyses the situation as it is. Hereby internationally approved methods are employed in order to gain a complete overview. In addition to the classic mental approach medical methods are applied in order to mobilize additional forces on a metabolic level. As always, a holistic approach is emphasized which inter alia includes questions of nutrition, exercise, mental strength and an energetic balance.
Our approach at the DZIP is highly personal. In order to check which is your own individual way we offer you our personal consultation.
Obstacles for a prevention and therapy of burnout syndrome
- Burnout remains undetected for a long time. An early recognition and intervention often are difficult.
- Burnout syndrome is a taboo. It is often interpreted as personal failure.
- Fear of career-disruption or of unemployment creates inhibitions to mention the subject to colleagues.
- Burnout syndrome is understood to be a personal problem. Colleagues and friends often think they should not get involved.
