The traditional approach of treating burnout primarily through rest and recovery is overly simplistic and may not address the root causes of burnout. Newer models, such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), suggest that addressing psychological and existential needs, rather than just biological ones, can lead to more effective recovery.
Burnout treatment should not only focus on rest but also on helping individuals reconnect with what gives their life meaning, addressing feelings of fear, shame, and high self-demands, to achieve a more comprehensive and lasting recovery.
