I’m a counseling intern, and I feel that I am experiencing the results of significant burnout. My last semester is this Fall, but i’m having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Besides internship, I am juggling class and a lot of schoolwork plus working and other things I have on my plate. I have tried to eliminate as much as possible but there are things that I absolutely cannot get rid of. I also was going to counseling but due to my Internship and work schedule, I can’t fit it into my week at all without feeling even more stressed.

I want to be honest with my program director/professor and my site supervisor about how i’m feeling, but I am scared of being told I can’t continue the program or that they will think i’m not fit to be a counselor. I want to do what is most ethical for my clients more than anything, and I have really enjoyed my journey as a counselor in training.

I feel like I handle my caseload well and I enjoy sessions, but I feel the burnout when it comes to the documentation, training, and then the homework and hours of reading we have to do for classes

How can I bring this up to my supervisor and professor? Any suggestions for tackling burnout at this time and how to move forward?

Thank you🙂

Hi everyone!

I have been diagnosed with PMOS for 3 years now and I’m almost completely certain I experienced symptoms of PMOS since I was a child. In my time of being diagnosed, I’ve tried so many diets and started so many workout routines but nothing ever sticks. I’ve gotten to the point of not liking my weight at all but also having a hard time feeling motivated to try anything else.

What are some tips and tricks you all have tried that has worked for you? Any ideas for how to find the strength to initiate another routine? Also, who are some content creators you would recommend that are helpful?

One of the best things that I’ve heard is that PMOS is not a temporary change - it’s a lifestyle change. Anything that I do that sticks will be with me forever.
