Questions, answered
Is this therapy or medical treatment?
No. This is a guided self-help experience built on practical, well-known methods. It is not therapy, diagnosis, or a replacement for a professional. If your feelings are intense or lasting, please speak with a doctor or mental-health professional.
Who is this session for?
Early exhaustion, emotional fatigue, reduced motivation, feeling drained, irritability, cynicism, and work overload.
Who is it NOT suitable for?
Severe burnout, depression, self-harm thoughts, panic attacks, medical exhaustion, trauma, or inability to function. WHO describes burnout as an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, so this session should focus on early signs, recovery habits, and work-boundary planning while directing severe cases to professional support.
How long does it take?
About 35-45 min, split into small steps. You can pause and resume anytime, and revisit as often as you like.
Is my information private?
Yes. Anything you write in the activities is saved privately on your own device, never uploaded.
Do I get worksheets I can keep?
Yes. The session includes worksheets, trackers and a 7-day plan you can view on screen and download as a PDF.
