Why Some People Choose Private-Pay Therapy (and How Reimbursement Can Help) | Dr

Burnout Recovery for High Performers | Dr. Marie Atallah
You don’t need to lose your ambition to recover from burnout.
But you do need to realign it.
Burnout recovery for high performers isn’t about “slowing down.”
It’s about reconnecting with what actually matters to you.
I work with driven individuals who’ve always “done the thing”:
✔️ The next degree
✔️ The next raise
✔️ The next benchmark
From the outside? They’re thriving.
But inside, they’re depleted — and often unsure why hitting the goal still feels flat.
It’s not just the pace. It’s the pattern.
They’ve spent so long being externally driven that their internal why has gotten buried.
So when burnout hits, it’s not just about lack of time.
It’s that pushing through is easier than pausing to ask:
Is this still aligned with who I am now?
I don’t tell high performers to stop performing.
I help them do it with:
- Clarity
- Connection
- Actual sustainability
Because your ambition isn’t the problem.
But losing yourself along the way might be.
