A burnout, or professional exhaustion syndrome, has major consequences on the professional – and personal – lives of the people concerned. In addition to psychological support, what are the ways to bounce back? Is a conversion the solution? For Sophie Maretto, psychologist-coach certified in skills assessment, it is essential to allow time before considering such a change.
“Retraining is far from mandatory following a burnout”note in the preamble Sophie Maretto, psychologist at Levallois-Perret.. “ Most people change companies to avoid facing the inherent stress of place associated with burnout. » Without changing careers. Because this change alone requires a lot of energy.
But a burnout can be compared to a huge psychic short-circuit. It translates to “ by a state of professional exhaustion (at the same time emotional, physical and psychic) felt in the face of ’emotionally’ demanding work situations”, define the Ministry of Labour, the INRS and the ANACT in a prevention assistance guide.
Don’t start there
People who have suffered from it often have a concentration disorder, a fear of learning, a lack of confidence and energy. Which is not compatible with an immediate reconversion. “To reconvert you need psychological and logistical time, and money”, recalls the psychologist. And “the ability to think is not necessarily there: they are afraid of not being up to it”.
” It’s possible “, reassures Sophie Maretto, however. And sometimes, professional retraining is even a matter of need, of survival. “ When the malaise at work is felt in the task, in the environment and in personal life”, she believes. But it takes time. “That’s not the place to start,” she continues. “It’s important to give yourself time to rest, rebuild and give your brain the opportunity to reconnect.”
