What is stress & burnout coaching?

As a stress & burnout coach Amsterdam, I help you with stress symptoms. What happens with stress? Stress is a natural reaction that activates our fight-or-flight response. It can have positive effects, such as increased alertness and better performance.

However, chronic or unhealthy stress can be detrimental to your physical, emotional and mental health. It occurs when there is insufficient recovery after strain, whether mental or physical.

While stress can stimulate us, it is important to understand the boundary between healthy and unhealthy stress. Because this boundary is different for everyone, I offer a personalized approach.

I started my coaching process with Karianne with the goal of creating more peace and balance, being more positive in life and being nicer to myself. Karianne held up the mirror to me in a pleasant way. She listens, Asks the right questions and gives fine assignments. I now have an overview of my core values that I can fall back on every time I have a difficult choice to make. Through the coaching of Karianne I can now let go more and rely more on myself, my own intuition and strength. We have a toolbox filled with things that make me happy. One that I can pull open when I need to.

I had been struggling for some time with sleepless nights, unending doubts about my own ability and waning focus in my work and personal life. When I came to Karianne, I had a critical and hard head. But her openness and very good listening ear made all the difference. Karianne helped me regain structured habits and organize my thoughts. Through our conversations, I learned not only how to cope with current challenges, but also how to prepare for future moments of stress. The process helped me to believe in myself again and respect my limits. I can Karianne’s coaching definitely recommended, even if you think you are doing well mentally.

Our conversations and exercises were mostly about finding my way in the creative field. After all, my work always felt personal and my creations were directly connected to my self-esteem. This made it difficult to keep work and home separate, and I found that I often depended on my self-worth for my performance. Now, six months after completing my coaching program with Karianne, I experience this very differently. Last week, while evaluating an exciting project, my boss emphasized that I am doing very well. That was nice to hear, but the best thing is that I now really feel that myself, even before he had said it. Thanks to Karianne, I have learned to recognize my own qualities, without constantly needing confirmation from others. Her calm and empathic approach helped me to become stronger and more resilient, and ultimately to be kinder to myself. And I wish that to everyone! Myrthe
