Values Clarification and Meaning Work
for Burnout
Burnout often involves a profound sense of meaninglessness and misalignment between work demands and personal values. Structured reflection and values-based work can help reorient toward authentic motivation.
How it works
Addresses the third dimension of burnout — sense of inefficacy and depersonalisation — by reconnecting with intrinsic motivation and purpose. ACT's values work is one structured approach.
What to watch for
Values work can reveal that a job change is the necessary response to burnout — which is sometimes the right answer. Best done with a therapist or experienced coach.
